Summary

The application of PCR to lymphoid diagnosis has come a long way in a few years. The technique brings the advantage of rapidity and (relative) ease of use, as well as being inexpensive. Whilst the range of chromosomal abnormalities thus detectable is at present small, the adaptation of PCR to the detection and monitoring of clones is becoming increasingly useful.
