Measurement of Telomere Length in Patients with Acute Leukaemia Using Quantitative In situ Hybridization and Flow Cytometry and It's Relationship with Prognosis

Abstract

We examined and compared the telomere length at the initial diagnosis and during the remission periods in patients with acute leukaemia and evaluated whether it has a prognostic value or not. This study included 21 patients (13 being female and 8 being male) with acute leukaemia. Their median age was 37 years (range 17-66) and 15 patients had AML and 6 patients had ALL. Relative telomere length (RTL) level was determined in bone marrow blood mononuclear cells by flow-FISH method. At the initial diagnosis short telomere length was observed in 3 patients, long telomere length in 18 patients. During the remission period short telomere length was observed in 11 patients, long telomere length in 10 patients. No statistically significant relation could be found between telomere length and laboratory parameters. When survival and remission times were concerned, no statistically significant difference was observed between the groups of lengthened and shortened relative telomere length. In conclusion, our findings on the analysis of relative telomer length parameters suggest that our population is heterogeneous. For this reason it is critical to evaluate both telomerase activity and telomer length in acute leukaemia patients.
