NPM1 gene c.960insCATG transcript/control transcript [# Ratio] in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method

NPM1 gene mut B/control Bld/T

Definition

The quantification of NPM1 mutation B (c.960insCATG) transcripts are compared to a control gene (e.g. ABL1) by real-time PCR (RT-qPCR). NPM1 primers and probes spanning exons 11 and 12 may be used to detect quantify the NPM1 mutation transcripts. Results are based on the normalized copy number [NPM1 mut B copy number/ABL1 copy number) x 100]. This test is based on, but not limited to, IPSOGEN'S NPM1-B/D MutaQuant Kit, which is used as research tool (as of 2012) for the quantification of NPM1-B transcripts in samples previously identified as carrying the NPM1 mutation B. The results are used to monitor the decrease of NPM1 mutB expression after treatment.
