Abstract

Somatic genetic abnormalities provide important diagnostic and prognostic information and are potential therapeutic targets in pediatric acute leukemias. In the clinical setting these genetic aberrations are typically detected by karyotype, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), or chromosomal microarray (CMA) analyses. In recent years, large-scale genomic studies have revealed a spectrum of novel, clinically significant molecular variants in pediatric leukemias. We recently developed a comprehensive DNA- and RNA-based next generation sequencing (NGS) panel, OncoKidsSM, which was designed to detect diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic markers across the spectrum of pediatric malignancies, including leukemias.
