Tests for MRD using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can identify malignant cells based on their characteristic chromosome rearrangements. For example, PCR can detect evidence of the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome which is found in about 95% of patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), 2%-10% of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and 20%-50% of adults […]
