Genomic analyses identify recurrent MEF2D fusions in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia

Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is characterized by chromosomal rearrangements. Here, the authors carry out RNA-sequencing on a large cohort of patients and identify recurrent rearrangements of MEF2D, which lead to increased transcriptional activity of the gene, and cellular transformation in vitro.
