چکیده

Background: Ig/TCR receptor rearrangements QPCR technology is considered as a powerful method for minimal residual disease (MRD) detection in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). In the present study, we evaluated an ASO (Allele Specific Oligonucleotide)-qPCR assay for MRD detection in adult ALL patients.Methods: Ninety-eight newly diagnosed ALL patients were enrolled in this study. V/J-usage was first identified in each diagnostic sample. Specific primers were designed based on unique sequence of hyper-variable regions in each patient. 2.5-year monthly MRD quantification was performed using ASO-qPCR method, for detection and screening of patient-specific Ig/TCR receptor rearrangements. Results: From 98 ALL patients, 72 were enrolled in our study for MRD screening. Clonal Ig/TCR gene rearrangements were detected in each patient. MRD detection was performed with one-month interval time in each case. Regarding the MRD threshold, patients were classified into two distinct groups of low-risk and high-risk. It was found that 2.5-year overall survival was significantly lower in high-risk group. Multivariate analysis showed that MRD-level at day 28 of induction therapy and onwards are the only significant prognostic factor. Clinical relapse was predictable in relapsed cases. Discussion: ASO-qPCR is a sensitive method for MRD detection. Patient classification and identification of those with a high-risk of relapse would be possible with MRD monitoring. MRD-levels at the end of induction therapy up to day 88 of therapy showed a strong association with patients’ outcome. MRD-based risk assessment is a precise approach which leads to personalized medicine in adult ALL through accurate risk group assignment with risk-adapted therapy.
