Abstract

In order to evaluate relapse predication ability of STR-PCR combining with qualitative RT-PCR for the bar/abl transcripts to the patient with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) fulfilled allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), 24 patients with CML after allo-HSCT were dynamically investigated for MRD, quantitative analysis of donor chimerism was performed by multiplex PCR amplification of STR markers and capillary electrophoresis with fluorescence detection, qualitative detection of bcr/abl transcripts was detected by nested RT-PCR. The results showed that persistent full donor chimerism (DC >/= 95%) was associated with an absence of MRD. All patients with stable MC (90%
