Abstract

Background: Despite the irruption of massive sequencing technologies in clinical routine, the genetic diagnosis of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) continues to be based on traditional techniques. The integration of old and new technologies with diagnostic and prognostic purposes represents a major challenge.

Methods: A High-Throughput Sequencing (HTS) approach was applied to analyze the genetic landscape of two patients diagnosed with T-ALL and one early T cell precursor acute leukemia. Orthogonal standard techniques were used to confirm the findings of NGS analysis.

Results: By using a single test, a complete genetic map including 2 previously unreported missense mutations in BCL11B gene are reported. Cooperating oncogenic lesions including CDKN2A/B deletions, SIL-TAL1 rearrangement and FLT3 amplification were also captured by using a single test.

Conclusions: HTS is a useful approach that allows simultaneously analyzing mutations, CNVs and the clonal repertoire in T-ALL patients. This approach may simplify the genetic assessment of ALL.

Keywords: BCL11B; CNVs; NGS; T-ALL; VDJ-rearrangement.
