Hypodiploid acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is an aggressive form of leukemia characterized by multiple whole chromosomal losses and very poor outcome. Here we report an integrative genomic analysis that identifies multiple subtypes of hypodiploid ALL characterized by variation in the degree o...
Early T-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ETP ALL) is an aggressive malignancy of unknown genetic basis. We performed whole genome sequencing of tumour and normal DNA from 12 children with ETP ALL and assessed the frequency of somatic alterations in 52 ETP and 42 non-ETP T-ALL samples by...
