Article Synopsis
  • T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) presents as an aggressive cancer with diverse subtypes, making traditional classification difficult.
  • A multiomics analysis of bone marrow samples revealed a specific subset of T-lineage ALL with active inflammatory and stem gene programs, showing unique biological and treatment response characteristics.
  • A computational inflammatory gene signature scoring system was developed to better classify patients, identifying a high-risk subtype that could guide targeted therapies for more effective treatment approaches.

Genomic alterations of are common and associated with adverse clinical features in B-ALL. The relationship between the type of alteration, disease subtype and outcome are incompletely understood. Leukemia subtype and genomic alterations were determined using transcriptome and genomic sequencing and SNP microarray in 688 pediatric patients with B-ALL in St.

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a mature T-cell lymphoma that accounts for 10-15% of childhood lymphomas. Despite the observation that more than 90% of pediatric cases harbor the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangement resulting in aberrant ALK kinase expression, there is significant clinical, morphologic, and biological heterogeneity. To gain insights into the genomic aberrations and molecular heterogeneity within ALK-positive ALCL (ALK+ ALCL), we analyzed 46 pediatric ALK+ ALCLs by whole-exome sequencing, RNA sequencing, and DNA methylation profiling.
