P210 BCR ABL1 - Detected

I have being undetected and 0.000 for more than a year. If according to the first test The P210 BCR-ABL1 fusion transcript is NOT detected.
What was detected on the second test?

Without seeing the full report it's hard to make a judgement but it's quite possible there could be a clerical error as that does, on the face of it, appear contradictory.

Hi David,
Thanks for your reply, this is the complete report
