By using a clone-specific CDR III probe in each patient, we were able to detect minimal residual disease (MRD) of lymphoma cells in the bone marrow and/or blood in 9 out of 14 cases (64.2%) at the onset of the disease or relapse, whereas abnormal cells in the bone marrow and/or blood were identified by routine morphological analysis in only 4 out of 22 cases (18.2%).

Since the comparison of Ig/TCR gene rearrangements at diagnosis and relapse in our precursor-B-ALL patients did not show significant difference in the stability of different clonal PCR targets (IGH, 70%; IGK, 71%; TCRD, 67%; TCRG, 75%), we conclude that there is no 'preferential' clone-specific target for MRD monitoring.
