  • Publication number: 20150024948
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for the capture and enrichment of target nucleic acids and analysis of the enriched target nucleic acids for detecting balanced chromosomal aberrations including translocations and inversions. The present disclosure provides for the enrichment of targeted sequences in a format whereby one fusion partner gene on a capturing platform is represented to allow subsequent sequencing of chimeric nucleic acids (i.e., nucleic acid strands that carry information on different DNA regions of a genome). Such a design enables identification of novel fusion partner genes occurring as a result of a chromosomal translocation or inversion.

  • Publication number: 20070275380
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for distinguishing AML subtypes with aberrant and prognostically intermediate karyotypes selected from trisomy 8, inv(3), t(3;3), trisomy 11, trisomy 13, trisomy 4, t(1;3), t(6;9), der(5)t(5;11), i(17), del(9q), del(12p), and/or del(20q) in a sample by determining the expression level of markers, as well as a diagnostic kit and an apparatus containing the markers.

  • Publication number: 20070122814
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for distinguishing prognostically definable AML subtypes with normal karyotype into different prognosis subsets in a sample by determining the expression level of markers, as well as a diagnostic kit and an apparatus containing the markers.

  • Publication number: 20070072178
    Abstract: The present invention is related to methods for detecting leukemia cells by determining the expression profile of a group of markers. In particular, the type or subtype of leukemia cells in a sample is determined. Further, uses of the group of markers is discloses and compositions comprising these markers.
