Figure 1From: Characterization of 46 patient-specific BCR-ABL1 fusions and detection of SNPs upstream and downstream the breakpoints in chronic myeloid leukemia using next generation sequencingSchematic localization of primers. Forward primers hybridizing in exon 13 of the BCR gene are symbolized by arrows pointing to the right and reverse primers spanning the intron 1 of gene ABL1 are symbolized by arrows pointing to the left. Colors of arrows for each gene illustrate two-rounds of multiplex LR-PCR. LR-PCR products were obtained in 25/48 cases from the first round PCR using 1 forward primer (red color) localized in BCR exon 13 and 10 reverse primers (red color) spanning the whole ABL1 intron 1 [9]. LR-PCR products were obtained in the remaining 23/48 cases from the second round PCR with 1 forward primer (blue color) hybridizing to sequence of BCR exon 13 and 20 reverse primers (blue colors) hybridizing to ABL1 intron 1 [7,10].Back to article page
