Description

The fusion of promyelocytic leukemia (PML, chromosome 15q24.1) and retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARA, chromosome 17q21.1) genes occurs due to a chromosomal translocation. The fused genes can be detected by various molecular techniques, including FISH and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The test is used to diagnose Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL), detect residual or recurrent APL, and to monitor PML-RARA levels in patients with APL. The assay can be done on whole blood (plasma or cell-based) and bone marrow. Long, variant and/or short isoforms of PML-RARA fusion transcripts may be identified. The ratio of PML-RARA fusion transcript to a control gene (e.g. ABL1) may be reported for positive samples. Source: Regenstrief LOINC
