PML/RARA t(15:17) Quantitative
This test quantifies the PML-RARa fusion gene transcript in blood, which is indicative of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). It helps monitor treatment response and disease progression.
PML/RARA t(15:17) Quantitative Test in Coimbatore Overview
No special preparations needed
- Speciment Type
- Pml Raralpha Long Form
- Pml Raralpha Variant Form
- Pml Raralpha Short Form
This test identifies a specific genetic translocation found in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), helping diagnose and monitor this subtype of leukemia.
It confirms the presence of the PML-RARA fusion gene, essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning in APL cases.
A bone marrow or blood sample is analyzed using molecular methods like RT-PCR to detect the PML-RARA transcript quantitatively.
Yes, the quantitative nature of the test helps assess disease burden and monitor remission or relapse during therapy.
A negative result typically indicates the absence of the PML-RARA fusion gene, suggesting the leukemia may not be APL.
