Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Activating mutations in NOTCH1 are frequent in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and, in the absence of alterations in RAS or PTEN, are associated with favorable prognosis. Besides classical heterodimerization and PEST domain mutations, juxtamembrane internal tandem duplications (JME-ITDs) represent a third class of activating variants. Their intermediate size and sequence composition can...
