As Wilms' tumor gene (WT1) is highly expressed in bone marrow and blood specimens in all patients with leukemia, minimal residual leukemia (MRD) can be estimated by the quanlitation of the gene expression with RT-PCR method.Low level expression of WT1 gene in CD34 fraction of normal bone marrow cells may result in reducing the sensitivity of the detection of MRD by WT1 assay.In allogeneic bone marrow transplantation setting, CD34 fraction and WT1 levels of the bone marrow cells were monitored in patients with lymphoma who did not expressed WT1 gene.As a result, the percentage of the normal CD34 fraction and WT1 gene expression level derived from the fraction concurrently decreased to less than one tenth.On the other hand, WT1 gene expression in leukemic cells is increased in relapse.Therefore, this MRD detection system is very useful for the diagnosis of early molecular relapse in patients with leukemia who were treated with bone marrow transplantation.

由于维尔姆斯肿瘤基因（WT1）在所有白血病患者的骨髓和血液标本中均高表达，因此可以通过RT-PCR方法定量该基因表达来估计微小残留白血病（MRD）。WT1低水平表达正常骨髓细胞 CD34 部分中的基因可能会导致 WT1 检测 MRD 检测的灵敏度降低。在同种异体骨髓移植环境中，CD34 部分和 WT1对不表达WT1基因的淋巴瘤患者的骨髓细胞水平进行监测。结果，正常CD34分数和源自该分数的WT1基因表达水平的百分比同时下降到不到十分之一。另一方面，白血病细胞中WT1基因表达在复发时增加。因此，该MRD检测系统对于接受骨髓移植治疗的白血病患者的早期分子复发诊断非常有用。
