TLDR
This assay will be used to test the hypothesis that sensitive and quantitative measurement of leukemic burden, during or after therapy of APL, can stratify patients into discrete risk groups, and thereby serve as a basis for risk-adapted therapy in APL.

Detection of minimal residual disease in hematologic malignancies by real-time quantitative PCR: principles, approaches, and laboratory aspects.

TL;DR: The interpretation of RQ-PCR MRD data needs standardized criteria and reporting of MRDData needs international uniformity, and several European networks have now been established and common guidelines for data analysis and for reporting ofMRD data are being developed.

WT1 gene expression: an excellent tool for monitoring minimal residual disease in 70% of acute myeloid leukaemia patients - results from a single-centre study.

TL;DR: WT1 expression by RQ‐PCR may be employed as a tool to detect MRD in the majority of fusion transcript‐negative AML patients, and close concordance between relapse and increased WT1 levels is concluded.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acute promyelocytic leukemia: a model for the role of molecular diagnosis and residual disease monitoring in directing treatment approach in acute myeloid leukemia.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a real-time quantitative RT-PCR approach for the diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), which is characterized by a number of features that underpin the need for rapid and accurate diagnosis and demand highly specific treatment approach.

Quantitative real-time RT-PCR analysis of PML-RARα mRNA in acute promyelocytic leukemia: assessment of prognostic significance in adult patients from intergroup protocol 0129

TL;DR: The potential prognostic value of quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR [qrtPCR]) measurements of PML-RAR alpha mRNA in acute promyelocytic leukemia was retrospectively assessed before treatment and at 3 posttreatment intervals in 123 patients on intergroup protocol 0129.

Single-step method of RNA isolation by acid guanidinium thiocyanate-phenol-chloroform extraction

TL;DR: A new method of total RNA isolation by a single extraction with an acid guanidinium thiocyanate-phenol-chloroform mixture is described, providing a pure preparation of undegraded RNA in high yield and can be completed within 4 h.
Journal ArticleDOI

Real time quantitative PCR.

TL;DR: Unlike other quantitative PCR methods, real-time PCR does not require post-PCR sample handling, preventing potential PCR product carry-over contamination and resulting in much faster and higher throughput assays.

Detection of specific polymerase chain reaction product by utilizing the 5'----3' exonuclease activity of Thermus aquaticus DNA polymerase.

TL;DR: The 5'----3' exonuclease activity of the thermostable enzyme Thermus aquaticus DNA polymerase may be employed in a polymerase chain reaction product detection system to generate a specific detectable signal concomitantly with amplification.
