Abstract:

BCR-ABL mRNA is the molecular marker of chronic myeloid leukemia(CML), and tyrosine kinase inhibitors(TKIs) targeting BCR-ABL mRNA has become the basic drug for CML. BCR-ABL mRNA level is the important indicator for evaluation of TKI efficacy. The mutation in ABL tyrosine kinase domain suggests mechanism of TKI resistance, which could guide the treatment strategy such as the selection of next TKIs. Standardized detection of BCR-ABLmRNA is essential for precisely guiding treatment and the guarantee for CML patients to achieve the best curative effects. Standardization is involved in sample type, testing content, laboratory protocol and report ways. This paper explored the standardized detection of quantification and mutation of BCR-ABL and clinical application in CML patients based on recent literature.
