Current practice guidelines for managing patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) call for monitoring BCR-ABL transcript concentrations with a quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR) assay. Because the available laboratory-developed assays lack consensus on the appropriate design, reporting of results, and reference intervals, we developed and evaluated an integrated BCR-ABL assay that yields standardized results for any laboratory and can be performed by technicians with no specialized training.
