Abstract excerpt
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) can be cured with combination chemotherapy in over 75% of children, but the cause of treatment failure in the remaining patients is unknown. We determined the sensitivity of ALL cells to individual antileukemic agents in 441 patients and used a genome-wide approach to identify 45 genes differentially expressed in ALL exhibiting crossresistance to prednisolone, vincristine,...
