[CML] qPCR Results Interpretation

Hi All,

My name is Teoh Poh Tiong. I am 27, resides in Malaysia.

Here's my brief profile:

Oct 01 - Diagnosed with chronic phase CML

- Treated with hydroxyurea

Oct 02 - Allo-related-BMT

May 03 - Liver GVHD

Now - Liver GVHD has subsided, no more medication :-)

Results- BMG, FISH, CYTOGENETICS, qualitative PCR - negative

However, my first qPCR (quantitative) shows the followings:

" Quantitative BCR/ABL assay detected residual disease at a level of

BCR/ABL to ABL ratio of 0.182 %. "

May I know how significance is 0.182%? Is it something that I should

be worried about?

My hem suggest me to start at a low dosage of Glivec in order to

eradicate the BCR/ABL completely.

Help anyone?

/best regards, pt
