Next-Generation Sequencing of Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Variable Region to Identify Previously Undetectable Minimal Residual Disease in Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia With Prognostic Significance
OBJECTIVES:
- To identify and characterize changes in clonal populations of B cells in children with
acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) at diagnosis and Day 29 of induction.
- To define the ability of this technology to reclassify patients as minimal residual
disease (MRD) positive at Day 29 of induction.
- To determine whether more sensitive detection of MRD at Day 29 would have clinical
prognostic value in children with ALL.
OUTLINE: DNA extracted from diagnostic cells are analyzed for immunoglobulin heavy chain
variable region by next-generation sequencing.
