LaboratoryBCR-ABL1 p210 Major Molecular Response (MMR) [Presence] in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method --post treatment
Definition
Patient's with CML and undergoing tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy may be monitored to assess their treatment response (reduction in BCR-ABL1 transcripts) to therapy. A major molecular response (MMR) occurs when the ratio of BCR-ABL1 transcripts to control gene is less than or equal to 0.1% according to the International Scale (IS), a consensus standardized measurement scale intended to allow direct comparison of BCR-ABL1 major breakpoint (b2a2, b3a2) RNA levels in any laboratory adopting its use. Studies have demonstrated that achieving MMR within 18 months following TKI therapy is associated with a minimal risk of progression at 84 months (NCCN Guidelines CML, 2013).
