Zusammenfassung
The regulation of lineage fate and commitment is important for understanding haematological malignancies. We describe a lineage switch from infant acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) to acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) with identical t(4;11) breakpoints, indicating they came from the same cell of origin. To identify the lineage switch drivers we performed exome and RNA sequencing and used single cell sorting to construct a phylogenetic tree to determine the order of mutational acquisition. Exome seq identified 16 and 98 novel somatic variants with 1 and 9 non-synonymous mutations in the ALL and AML respectively. RN…
