Genetic abnormalities associated with the relapse of childhood leukemia.

Abstract excerpt

Acute leukemia, especially acute lymphoblastic leukemia, is the most common tumor in childhood. Survival in pediatric acute leukemia cases has improved significantly, but once a relapse occurs, the long-term survival rates decrease markedly. Recently, SNP array and next-generation sequencing have revealed the relapse mechanism of pediatric leukemia and genetic alterations which drive leukemia recurrence.
