Quantification of Bcr-Abl transcripts in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) using standardized, internally controlled, competitive differential PCR (CD-PCR).
The quantification of Bcr-Abl transcript numbers in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) patients described here uses simultaneous competitive PCR amplification of the target gene (Bcr-Abl) and a reference gene (porphobilinogen deaminase; Pbgd) together with a single composite competitor molecule for both targets based on heterologous sequences. Using this technique, Bcr-Abl transcript numbers co...
متن کاملFrequency of BCR-ABL Fusion Transcripts in Iranian Azeri Turkish patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
Background: The Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) characterized by t (9; 22) (q34; q11.2) is a reciprocal translocation giving rise to a chimeric BCR-ABL fusion gene. Incidence of Ph chromosome is over 98% in Patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) and around 20% in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The finding of this fusion gene is essential for diagnosis of CML by detection of various fusi...
متن کاملMultiplex PCR of bcr-abl fusion transcripts in Philadelphia positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
We describe a multiplex PCR assay for the detection of bcr-abl fusion mRNA in Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph + ALL). The assay provides a quick method for screening p190 (e1:a2) and p210 (b2:a2 or b3:a2) bcr-abl mRNAs simultaneously. The assay proves to be highly sensitive with detection of as little as one positive bcr-abl-expressing cell in a background of 1...
متن کاملbcr-abl RNA in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia.
The major consequence of the formation of the Philadelphia (Ph1) chromosome characteristic of leukemia cells of patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is fusion of c-abl and bcr genes. Using a sensitive RNase protection technique, we analyzed mRNA from a large number of CML patients. In most, we identified one or both species of bcr-abl chimeric transcripts. These two mRNAs vary in th...
متن کاملQuantification of BCR-ABL mRNA in Plasma/Serum of Patients with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia
Quantification of tumor-associated mRNA extracted from blood cells/tissues containing tumor cells is used for evaluation of treatment efficacy or residual tumor cell burden in tumors including leukemia. However, this method using tumor cell-containing blood/tissue is difficult to evaluate the whole tumor cell burden in the body. In order to establish an efficient method to evaluate the whole tu...
