Abstract
Improvements made during the last decades in the management of patients with hematologic neoplasia have resulted in increase of overall survival. These advancements have become possible through progress in our understanding of genetic basis of different hematologic malignancies and their role in the current risk-adapted treatment protocols. In this review, we provide an overview of current cytogenetic and molecular genetic methods, commonly used in the genetic characterization of hematologic malignancies, describe the current developments in the cytogenetic and molecular diagnostics, and give an outlook into their future development. Furthermore, we give a brief overview of the most important public databases and guidelines for sequence variant interpretation.
期刊介绍:
Best Practice & Research Clinical Haematology publishes review articles integrating the results from the latest original research articles into practical, evidence-based review articles. These articles seek to address the key clinical issues of diagnosis, treatment and patient management. Each issue follows a problem-orientated approach which focuses on the key questions to be addressed, clearly defining what is known and not known, covering the spectrum of clinical and laboratory haematological practice and research. Although most reviews are invited, the Editor welcomes suggestions from potential authors.
