Secondary lesions and sensitivity to signaling inhibitors in iAMP21 acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Intrachromosomal amplification of chromosome 21 (iAMP21) B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) in children is a high-risk subtype for which targeted drugs are lacking. In this study, we determined the frequency of secondary lesions in 28 iAMP21 BCP-ALL patient samples and investigated cellular sensitivity for candidate-targeted drugs. iAMP21 was enriched in aberrations (10.
