Abstract
In this issue of Cancer Discovery, Lopez and colleagues show that the aggressive acute leukemic phenotype caused by the chimeric transcription factor CBFA2T3-GLIS2 varies depending on the developmental stage of the cell transformed (i.e., fetal vs. adult). This is likely a general principle in pediatric cancers and begins to explain why some cancer phenotypes are more common in infants and young children, whereas others are more frequent in older individuals.See related article by Lopez et al., p. 1736.
