BCRABL Minor Quantitative Test
Introduction to the BCRABL Minor Quantitative Test
The BCRABL Minor Quantitative Test is a vital diagnostic tool used primarily in the management of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). This test plays a crucial role in monitoring the effectiveness of treatment and detecting any potential relapse in patients. By analyzing the BCR-ABL gene fusion, healthcare providers can make informed decisions regarding ongoing treatment plans, ensuring optimal patient care.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically measures the levels of the BCR-ABL fusion gene, which is a hallmark of CML. By quantifying the presence of this gene, the test helps assess the disease’s response to therapy and can indicate whether the treatment is successful or if adjustments are needed.

- Fatigue
- Unexplained weight loss
- Frequent infections
- Easy bruising or bleeding
Risk factors include a family history of leukemia and previous exposure to radiation or certain chemicals.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Monitors treatment effectiveness
- Detects disease progression or relapse
- Informs necessary adjustments to treatment plans
- Provides reassurance to patients regarding their health status
Understanding Your Results
Results from the BCRABL Minor Quantitative Test are typically available within three working days. Understanding your results is crucial; your healthcare provider will explain the significance of the BCR-ABL levels and what they mean for your treatment plan. A decrease in BCR-ABL levels generally indicates a positive response to treatment, while stable or increasing levels may require further investigation.
