| description | Wilm's tumor (WT1) gene expression is calculated by measuring the copy numbers of transcripts within exon 1 and 2 of the WTI gene compared to transcripts from a control gene. The WT1 gene expression is used as a specific molecular marker to improve diagnosis, prognosis and follow-up of adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Early decreased expression of WT1 copy number in peripheral blood predicts better outcome for AML patients [PMID:20107153]. This code is based on, but not limited in use to, the submitter's package insert, Ipsogen's ProfileQuant® kit. This kit uses real-time quantitative PCR to quantify WT1 gene expression relative to ABL1 control gene. | ||

| property | NRto = Number Ratio | ||
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | ||
| system | Bld/Tiss Bld = Whole blood Tiss = Tissue, unspecified | ||
| scale | Qn = Quantitative: The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256 | ||
| method | Molgen = Molecular Genetics: General class of methods used to detect genetic attributes on a molecular basis including RFL, PCR and other methods. | ||
