Description: Introduction of next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based mutation profiling has improved prognostic risk stratification of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), thus helping the selection of consolidation treatment option between allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) and chemotherapy. While gene mutation-targeted therapeutic agents are being developed, thus providing a novel treatment option in the patients having mutations which are detected by NGS. Consequently NGS-based mutation profiling has been implemented in the clinical practice of AML therapy. An overview of currently available technology for MRD monitoring, including multiple color flow cytometry, PCR and NGS will be provided.
