DNA-Based Methods for Measurable Residual Disease Detection in NPM1-Mutated Acute Myeloid Leukemia; Establishment of Cut-Offs for qPCR, Digital Droplet PCR and Targeted Deep Sequencing
Abstract:For detection of measurable residual disease (MRD) in acute myeloid leukemia with NPM1 mutations, RT-qPCR with quantification of leukemic transcripts is currently considered the method of choice; however, MRD can also be determined with DNA-based methods, offering certain advantages. For example, digital droplet PCR (ddPCR) and targeted deep sequencing (deep seq) do neither require standard curves nor reference genes and are thus less labor intense than RT-qPCR. Also, deep seq allows for quantification indepen… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
