Methods
RT-PCR
Clinical Utilities
Aids in the diagnostic workup for patients with bcr/abl-positive neoplasms, predominantly CML and ALL
When positive, the test identifies which mRNA fusion variant is present to guide selection of an appropriate monitoring assy.
If a quantitative monitoring assay is not available for a rare fusion variant, this assay may be of some value for monitoring, as it is quite sensitive and can provide a positive or negative result.
