Project description:DS-ALL is a highly heterogeneous disease with predominance of an aberrant exp. of CRLF2 cooperating with mutated JAK2 Acute lymphoblastic pediatric leukemia specimens of Down's syndrome are examined for gene expression profiles and specific genetic aberrations. Gene expression profiling and specific genetic variation analysis identify novel pathways involved in DS-ALL pathogenesis.

Gene expression profiling and specific genetic variation analysis identify novel pathways involved in DS-ALL pathogenesis. Experiment Overall Design: Gene expression profile analysis and specific genetic data are integrated to find characteristics of DS-ALL's
Project description:Gene expression profiling (GEP) can reveal characteristic signatures associated with distinct biologic subtypes of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We performed GEP on Down syndrome (DS) and comparison non-Down syndrome (NDS) ALL cases to identify biologic differences between these groups. Ficoll-enriched, cryopreserved diagnostic bone marrow samples were obtained from patients with newly diagnosed B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
