Concordance of two approaches in monitoring of minimal residual disease in B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia: Fusion transcripts and leukemia-associated immunophenotypes

Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR) for fusion transcripts and flow cytometry for leukemia-specific markers are widely used for minimal residual disease (MRD) detection in acute lymphoblastic leukemia, but the relation between the results of either method is unclear. Methods: M...
