Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Sensitivity and specificity of DBS for transcript determinationTimepoint: Calculation of sensitivitya nd specificity will be done at baseline for diagnosis of leukemia transcript, for all samples with both conventional and DBS method

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
PPV & NPV will be calculated for both methods at the end of Trial durationTimepoint: One at the end of trial at the time of diagnosis once only.No longitudinal follow up data willbe collected
