Akute Lymphatische Leukämie

Molekulargenetik der ALL

Die ALL ist die häufigste maligne Erkrankung im Kindesalter. Das Labor beschäftigt sich seit Jahren mit der molekulargenetischen Charakterisierung von ALL Patienten. Zum einen werden genetische Veränderungen in den Leukämiezellen identifiziert und zur Subklassifikation der Erkrankung bzw. als Prognosekriterium genutzt (siehe MRD-Diagnostik). Zum anderen werden in genomweiten Ansätzen chromosomale Regionen bzw. Gene analysiert, die zur Entwicklung einer ALL disponieren.
