  2. 1. Resolving the Genomic Complexity of Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

    Author : Yanara Marincevic-Zuniga; Ann-Christine Syvänen; Caroline Heckman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute lymphoblastic leukemia ALL ; 450k array; DNA methylation; RNA-sequencing; linked-read WGS; B-other; fusion gene; chromosomal translocation; Medicinsk genetik; Medical Genetics;

    Abstract : Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common pediatric cancer in the Nordic countries. Structural chromosomal rearrangements are a hallmark of ALL and represent key markers for diagnosis, risk stratification and prognosis. READ MORE

  4. 2. Prognostic markers in pediatric leukemia and mechanisms of KRAS induced leukemogenesis

    Author : Anna Staffas; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prognostic markers; AML; T-ALL; leukemia; FLT3; NPM1; ERG; BAALC; KRAS;

    Abstract : Leukemia results from uncontrolled growth of genetically altered blood cells. Depending on the cell type of origin, the leukemia is defined as T-cell, B-cell, or myeloid and as acute or chronic depending on its characteristics. However, patients with a certain subtype of leukemia (e.g. READ MORE

  5. 3. Machine Learning Based Analysis of DNA Methylation Patterns in Pediatric Acute Leukemia

    Author : Christofer Bäcklin; Mats Gustafsson; Markus Ringnér; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common pediatric cancer in the Nordic countries. Recent evidence indicate that DNA methylation (DNAm) play a central role in the development and progression of the disease. READ MORE

  6. 4. Multi-omics analysis of relapsed acute myeloid leukemia

    Author : Svea Stratmann; Linda Holmfeldt; Caroline Heckman; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : The prognosis for patients suffering from acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains unsatisfactory and survival is often measured in months. Although the majority of patients achieve complete remission after aggressive treatment, most of them relapse within a few years. READ MORE

  7. 5. DNA methylation signatures in precursor lymphoid neoplasms : with focus on clinical implications & the biology behind

    Author : Zahra Haider; Sofie Degerman; Magnus Hultdin; Göran Roos; Pieter van Vlierberghe; Umeå universitet; []

    Abstract : Precursor lymphoid neoplasms, namely acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALL) and lymphoblastic lymphomas (LBL), are characterized by an aggressive proliferation of malignant progenitor B- or T-cells. To improve risk classification at diagnosis, better prognostic and treatment stratifying biomarkers are needed. READ MORE
