Detection of RUNX1-RUNX1T1 gene fusion in acute myeloid leukemia patients at the time of diagnosis

 

Minimal residual disease monitoring during the clinical and therapeutic course of these patients

Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test

RUNX1-RUNX1T1 minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with translocation t(8;21)(q22;q22) is useful for evaluating disease response after therapy and identifying individuals with increased risk of relapse. Quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction testing in neoplasms with known clonal genetic markers can achieve highly sensitive detection of neoplastic cells in blood or bone marrow samples. It is one of the most mature technologies available for this purpose. In this assay, translocation of chromosome 8q22 to 21q22 resulting in fusion of two genes RUNX1 and RUNX1T1 will be evaluated. Quantitative results will provide physicians with an accurate and precise measurement of disease burden to guide patient intervention decisions. This assay can be used for post-therapy MRD monitoring as well as detection of RUNX1-RUNX1T1 fusion in AML patients at the time of diagnosis.

Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

An interpretive report will be provided.

Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results

The assay is reported in the form of a normalized ratio of RUNX1-RUNX1T1 fusion transcript to the control gene ABL1 expressed as a percentage, which is an estimate of the level of RUNX1-RUNX1T1 fusion RNA present in the specimen, expressed in relation to the level of RNA from an internal control gene (ABL1). The normalized ratio has no units but is directly related to the level of RUNX1-RUNX1T1 detected (ie, larger numbers indicate higher relative levels of RUNX1-RUNX1T1 and smaller numbers indicate lower levels). A relative expression value minimizes variability in the RNA levels and cell numbers measured in separate specimens tested at different times. The precision of the quantitative assay is excellent, but interassay variability can occur such that result changes should not be considered significant if 2 single measurements differ by less than 0.5 log. More critical results, such as a change in the status of positivity or 1 log or greater increase between 2 positive samples should be repeated on a separate specimen with appropriate time interval to verify the result.

Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances

Method Description
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference

Total RNA is extracted from blood or bone marrow and reverse transcribed to generate complementary DNA. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction is performed, and the data analyzed using dedicated software for relative quantification with calibrator normalization. Results are provided as a normalized relative value of RUNX1-RUNX1T1/ABL1 messenger RNA transcripts with a reproducible analytical sensitivity of 0.01%.(Unpublished Mayo method)

 

The normalized ratio is a relative quantification calculation as follows: 

Normalized ratio=

RUNX1-RUNX1T1 (sample)/ABL1 (sample)

RUNX1-RUNX1T1 (run calibrator)/ABL1 (run calibrator)
