Objective: To explore the gene mutations of Langerhans cell histiocytosis in children, and to analyze the correlation of mutation with clinical features and prognosis of LCH, so as to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Methods: Fluorescence PCR was used to detect gene mutations in paraffin-embedded tissue samples from 78 children with LCH, and the correlation of mutation with clinical characteristics and prognosis of LCH in children was analyzed.
Results: Among the 78 children, 41 cases (52.
