Information:
A direct RNA test is available to identify patients with a translocation of the ABL oncogene into the BCR gene on chromosome 22. The fused transcript of the two genes has been implicated in the malignant process of both chronic myeloid leukemia patients and acute lymphocytic leukemia patients. Qualitative/Quantitative direct RNA analysis for the BCR/ABL rearrangement is useful for prognostication of patients with CML or AML. Diagnosis: We used multiplex PCR for detection and real time- PCR for quantification.
