Acute myeloid leukemia is a heterogeneous hematological disease, characterized by karyotypic and molecular alterations. Mutations in IDH2 have a role in diagnosis and as a minimal residue disease marker. Often the variant allele frequency during follow up is less than 20%, which represents the limit of detection of Sanger sequencing. Therefore, the development of sensitive methodologies to identify IDH2 mutations might help to monitor patients' response to therapy. We compared three different methods to identify and monitor IDH2 mutations in patients' specimens.

Abstract

Acute myeloid leukemia is a heterogeneous hematological disease, characterized by karyotypic and molecular alterations. Mutations in IDH2 have a role in diagnosis and as a minimal residue disease marker. Often the variant allele frequency during follow up is less than 20%, which represents the limit of detection of Sanger sequencing. Therefore, the development of sensitive methodologies to identify IDH2 mutations might help to monitor patients' response to therapy. We compared three different methods to identify and monitor IDH2 mutations in patients' specimens.
