| Screening |
Points |
These screenings are used for patients suspected of having leukemia at the initial examination
(at which a high-level expression is seen) to detect leukemia-related chimeric genes.
If chimeric mRNA is detected, the level of the chimeric mRNA is reported as “number of copies/μg RNA.”
For monitoring of treatment, put in a request for each of quantitative and qualitative assays
of the detected chimeric gene at the time of screening.
In the assays, in-house prepared reagents are used. |
| Performance |
The lower limit of quantification (or the lowest reportable value) is 50 copies/μg RNA. |
Parameters screened |
|
Quantitative assays, Real-time PCR |
Points |
These assays are used for monitoring of treatment.
Results are reported as “corrected value of chimeric mRNA (number of copies/μg RNA),”
“measured value of chimeric mRNA (number of copies/μg RNA),”
and “measured value of GAPDH (internal standard) (number of copies/μg RNA).”
Reporting results below the lower limit of quantification
■ < 50 copies/μg RNA
■ None-detected (below the detection limit of the assay)
Even if a result is reported as “None-detected (below the detection limit of the assay),”
it does not rule out the possibility of existence of various chimeric genes. Diagnosis shall be
made comprehensively, taking into account other test results and clinical findings.
In the assays, in-house prepared reagents are used. |
| Performance |
The lower limit of quantification (or the lowest reportable value) is 50 copies/μg RNA. |

Qualitative assays, Nested PCR |
Points |
These assays are used for monitoring of treatment and relapse with high sensitivity to detect
various chimeric mRNAs.
Results are reported as “The chimeric mRNA was none-detected” or “Detected.”
* Qualitative assays also have the detection limit; therefore, a result of “None-detected” does
not completely rule out the possibility of minimal residual disease (MRD).
In the assays, in-house prepared reagents are used. |
| Performance |
The lower limit of detection is 10 copies/μg RNA. |
