Reliable quantification of hematopoietic chimerism after allogeneic transplantation for acute leukemia using amplification by real-time PCR of null alleles and insertion/deletion polymorphisms

Abstract: Increasing mixed chimerism (MC) after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) has been associated with a high risk of relapse in acute leukemia. We evaluated a new method for chimerism detection, based on the quantitative real-time PCR (qrt-PCR) amplification of null alleles or insertion/deletion polymorphisms (indels). All qrt-PCR assays with null alleles and indels attained a sensitivity of at least 10 À4, as well as good intra-and interassay concordance, and a high accuracy in experiments with cell mixtu… Show more

“…The detection of increasing MC preceded relapse by a median of 74 days in this study and was significantly related to the absence of chronic GVHD [26]. The same group published recently that real time PCR of null alleles and insertion/deletion polymorphisms predicted a significantly higher number of relapse (88.2% vs 44.4%) with a median anticipation period of 58 days [27].…”

“…Detection of 0.1% of target DNA has been reported for SNP 8,14,21 compared with 0.1% to 0.01% for bialellic short insertion/deletion polymorphisms. 6,14,22 The detection limit of our SNP-specific qPCR assay was evaluated with dilution experiments of allele-positive DNA in allele-negative DNA. A linear correlation of target DNA template fraction (r ϭ 99%) for all SNP markers was detected down to 0.1% of the test template (Figure 1).…”

“…Quantitative PCR analysis using insertion/deletion polymorphism (indel qrtPCR) is a well-characterized and simple technique, which can be performed in peripheral blood with a better sensitivity compared with standard STR-PCR (0.01-0.1% vs 1-5%). 22,23 While this technique has been previously used by others, [24][25][26] its usefulness to predict relapse at the recipient's cell level o1% has never been clearly evaluated.…”
