ALL Genomes Marked by High DNA Methylation Levels
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common pediatric cancer and consists of multiple subtypes with distinct gene expression profiles defined by constellations of somatic mutations, chromosomal rearrangements deregulating oncogenes or encoding chimeric fusion transcripts and aneuploidy.
