Article Synopsis
  • - BCR::ABL1 digital PCR is a highly sensitive and precise method for measuring deep molecular responses in chronic myeloid leukemia, outperforming traditional qPCR, especially in predicting successful treatment-free remission.
  • - In a study with 168 patient samples, digital PCR demonstrated better detection capabilities, quantifying BCR::ABL1 in 68% of cases that were below the detection limit of qPCR, which required a high number of transcripts.
  • - The technique also allowed for differentiation between BCR::ABL1 transcript types, making it a practical and effective option for clinical use in monitoring treatment responses.

Precise and reliable predictive parameters to accurately identify chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients who can successfully discontinue their tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment are lacking. One promising parameter is depth of molecular response measured by BCR::ABL1 digital PCR (dPCR). The aim of this study was to validate a previously described prediction cutoff of 0.

We have designed a real-time CBFB-MYH11 reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay to quantify minimal residual disease (MRD) in patients with inv(16)-positive acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Six patients were followed for a median of 17.5 months after diagnosis during which 120 evaluable samples were analysed.
