If a suitable donor is found for leukemia and similar diseases, a cure can be achieved by performing a Bone Marrow transplant. After transplantation, it is important to determine whether or not the donor’s Bone Marrow sample is retained or to what extent it is retained for follow-up. For this purpose, FISH or PCR-based tests can be applied nowaDAYS. If the genders of the recipient and donor are the same, it is not possible to determine chimerism with the FISH technique. In such cases, chimerism rates can be determined by examining specific loci with PCR-based tests. |
