Rest of the study

[Guest guest]

This is the result of the complete assay from BMA on April 5, 2008. The

date 8/2/07 is the date I began the SKI trial. They have not decided what the

next drug will be, I will have to wait until my next appointment in July.

REAL TIME BCR INTERP PB

BCR-ABL qRT-PCR:

A b2a2 BCR-ABL fusion transcript coding for the 210kDa BCR-ABL protein is

detected by real-time PCR.

The percentage of BCR-ABL to ABL transcripts is greater than 100.

COMMENT: Quantitative real-time PCR analysis performed on RNA from this

sample for the BCR-ABL fusion transcript resulting from the t(9;22) in

leukemia. BCR-ABL and ABL transcript levels are detected simultaneously

and quantitative results expressed as the ratio of BCR-ABL to ABL levels.

This ratio may vary up to one-log because of methodological reasons. As

of 8/2/07, the assay has shifted to a new platform.

Blessings and peace,
