Abstract

Genomic DNA extraction is a primary component of genomic research and diagnostic routine analysis. Recently, the importance of this process has been highlighted by the necessity to standardize the diagnostic procedure. In this regard, the Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) Network of the Fondazione Italiana Linfomi (FIL MRD Network) has performed a comparative study of four different commercially available kits for DNA extraction, applying them on a panel of cellular pellets, with the aim of defining possible technical recommendations in order to harmonize and standardize diagnostic procedures in the clinical setting. Overall, all four kits usually allowed the recovery of a significant quantity of high-quality DNA (in most conditions), although specific indications could be addressed for cellular pellets of different sizes.
