The phrase "a marker of minimal" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are discussing indicators or signs of something being minimal or at a basic level.
Example: "In this study, we identified a marker of minimal engagement among participants, suggesting a need for more interactive elements."
Alternatives: "an indicator of minimal" or "a sign of minimal".
Besides being pathogenic, aquaporin 4 Abs are used as a marker of 'minimal residual afterfter SCT.
These cells are therefore assumed to be a surrogate marker of minimal residual disease and precursors of distant metastasis.
Based on the pooled analysis of the bone marrow (BM) micrometastasis group, disseminated tumour cells (DTC) are a surrogate marker of minimal residual disease.
To assess the potential effect of vaccination on leukaemia, WT1 mRNA expression was used as a surrogate marker of minimal residual disease.
It is highly expressed in more than 80% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, both in bone marrow (BM) and in peripheral blood (PB), and it is considered a panleukemic marker of minimal residual disease (MRD) [ 3, 4], used especially in those patients (about 50% of cases) who do not have a suitable specific cytogenetic or molecular marker.
Our results also demonstrate that capillary blood ammonia is not an accurate biological marker of minimal HE in patients with cirrhosis, nor a reliable predictor of future episodes of overt HE during follow-up.
In the diaphragm muscle, chymoptrysin-like and cathespin B+L activities peaked at day 4. Citrate synthase activity, a marker of mitochondrial content, was minimal at day 4 both in gastrocnemius and diaphragm muscles.
In order to optimise treatment strategies, the phenotypic properties of DTCs – the surrogate marker of minimal residual disease – should be taken into account in addition to characterisation of the primary tumour.
So the low genetic complexity alone may be a marker of good outcome rather than the minimal gene signature described for poor outcome.
