Abstract excerpt
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) typically occurs in late adulthood. Pediatric CML is a rare form of leukemia. In all age groups, the characteristic genetic driver of the disease is the BCR::ABL1 fusion gene. However, additional genomic events contribute to leukemic transformation, which is not yet well-characterized in pediatric CML. We investigated the mutational landscape of pediatric CML to determine whether...
