Whole-Genome Sequencing of Acute Myeloid Leukemia

ABSTRACT:

We used massively parallel sequencing technology to sequence the genomic DNA of tumor cells (leukemic bone marrow) and normal cells (skin biopsy) obtained from patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Patients had either de novo AML (AML with no prior diagnosis of a hematologic disease or exposure to chemotherapy), secondary AML (occurring after a prior diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)), or therapy-related AML (occurring after exposure to prior chemotherapy). We identified somatic mutations in the tumor genomes, including single nucleotide variants, insertions, deletions, and structural variants.
