Re: MRD analysis in AML

Dear All,

I wonder if anyone can answer a query that I can't seem to find an adequate answer to in my literature searches.

There is much talk about analysing the patterns of B and T cell maturation for abnormalities as markers of minimal residual disease, in B cell precursor and T cell ALL respectively. What about in AML? Other than analysing for aberrant phenotypes, what patterns are people looking at in follow up samples as markers of residual disease? I have read about abnormal patterns of CD34+ cells, but have not been able to find any details of what precisely people are doing. Can anyone help? 

Thanks in anticipation.
