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.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAnaplastic 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.
