Schematic representation of clonal evolution during the development of T-ALL by the stepwise accumulation of additional mutations. As described by Kunz et al. in this issue, relapse clones can originate from pre-leukemic clones by the acquisition of new mutations or can originate from the major diagnostic clone by the acquisition of additional mutations.
