Cancer drivers and clonal dynamics in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia subtypes

Abstract To obtain a comprehensive picture of composite genetic driver events and clonal dynamics in subtypes of paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) we analysed tumour-normal whole genome sequencing and expression data from 361 newly diagnosed patients. We report the identification of bot...
