Positive WT1 gene indicates that the leukemia patient’s condition has not been cured or relapsed, indicating the presence of leukemia cells in the patient’s body.
WT1 gene belongs to tumor suppressor gene, which can inhibit the transcription of growth factor and growth factor receptor, which is good for inhibiting the development of leukemia and for the recovery of leukemia. By checking the WT1 gene, we can clarify the patient’s situation at different times and understand the patient’s treatment and recovery.
Under normal circumstances, WT1 gene is negative. If the WT1 gene is positive, it suggests that there is a relapse or residual lesions, and further flow cytology, chromosome and other tests are needed to determine the specific situation and then take targeted treatment.
WT1 gene test plays a very important role in the pre-treatment, treatment and recovery of the disease, the patient should be timely hospital consultation, under the guidance of the doctor as far as possible to complete a variety of required tests, to formulate an individualized treatment plan, so as to avoid delaying the disease.
