| description | A balanced reciprocal translocation involving chromosomes 15 and 17, (15;17)(q22;q21), results in a fused transcript between PML and RARA genes. This gene fusion produces the PML-RARA fusion protein, a transcriptional repressor, which causes acute promyelocytic Leukemia (APL). Depending on the breakpoint within the PML gene, various fusion transcripts will be generated: long (L or bcr1), variant (V or bcr2), and short (S or bcr3). Techniques like real-time PCR are used to detect the PML-RARA fused transcripts and breakpoints. An endogenous control gene transcript (e.g. ABL1, GUS or BCR) is amplified along with the fusion transcript of interest. Standard curves of known amounts of both the control and fusion transcript are used to calculate the ratio of the fusion transcript signal to the control gene signal. | ||

| scale | Qn = Quantitative: The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256 | ||
