Genomic and global gene expression profiling in pediatric and young adult acute leukemia with PICALM::MLLT10 Fusion.

ABSTRACT:

Picalm

MLLT10 fusion is a rare but recurrent genetic driver in acute leukemias. To better understand the genomic landscape of PICALM::MLLT10 (PM) positive acute leukemia, we performed genomic profiling and gene expression profiling in twenty PM-positive patients, including AML (n = 10), T-ALL/LLy (n = 8), Mixed-phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL), T/B (n = 1) and acute undifferentiated leukemia (AUL) (n = 1). Besides confirming the known activation of HOXA, differential gene expression analysis compared to hematopoietic stem cells demonstrated the enrichment of genes associated with cell proliferation-related pathways and relatively high expression of XPO1 in PM-AML and PM-T-ALL/LLy. Our study also suggested PHF6 disruption as a key cooperating event in PICALM::MLLT10-positive leukemia
