Director of the Leukemia Program at the Abramson Cancer Center, Selina Luger, MD, examines the role of mutational analysis in the prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). A service provided by the Center for Personalized Diagnostics at Penn Medicine, the identification of gene mutations in AML involves large-scale, massively parallel DNA sequencing and chromosomal analysis. The resulting information is used to define both severity of disease and the course of treatment.
