BCR-ABL Transcript Quantification Test

BCR-ABL Transcript Fusion Quantification by RT-PCR in Pune

At a glance: This molecular test measures BCR-ABL fusion transcript levels to monitor leukaemia treatment response.

The BCR-ABL transcript fusion quantification test uses real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to detect and quantify the abnormal BCR-ABL gene fusion. This fusion results from a chromosomal translocation (Philadelphia chromosome) and is most commonly associated with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) and certain acute leukaemias.

This test is primarily used for baseline assessment and ongoing treatment monitoring, helping clinicians evaluate molecular response and disease progression. At healthcare nt sickcare, the test is available through both Home Collection Facility and Direct Walk-in Facility in Pune, Maharashtra.
