- AML patients in CR1 whose AML subtype has been well-characterized using conventional karyotyping and molecular genetic techniques (eg, RQ-PCR) at diagnosis. Patients may be considered eligible if they have not had this assessment performed at diagnosis provided that stored samples of diagnostic genetic material (DNA/RNA) from blood and BM are available that can be assayed for the presence of markers such as WT1 and/or AML-specific genetic markers.
