Popis Acute leukemias (AL) comprise a heterogeneous group of hematologic malignancies, and individual patient responses to treatment can be difficult to predict. Monitoring of minimal residual disease (MRD) is thus very important and holds great potential for improving treatment strategies. Common MRD targets include recurrent cytogenetic abnormalities and mutations in important hematological genes; unfortunately well-characterized targets are lacking in many AL patients. Here we demonstrate a technical approach for the identification and mapping of novel clone-specific chromosomal abnormalities down to the nucleotide level. We used molecular cytogenetics, chromosome microdissection, amplification of the microdissected material, and next-generation sequencing to develop PCR-based MRD assays based on unique breakpoint sequences.
