Whole genome sequencing data of paediatric KMT2A-rearranged acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Pediatric KMT2A-rearranged leukemia is an aggressive subtype of leukemia commonly seen in infants (less tha 1 year old) and young children. It involves rearrangements of the KMT2A gene (formerly MLL) on chromosome 11q23, resulting in fusion genes that drive uncontrolled cell growth. This subtype is most often found in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and is associated with a poor prognosis. In infants, the 5-year event-free and overall survival rates are around 35–40%. Despite intensive chemotherapy, outcomes remain challenging, prompting ongoing research into targeted therapies and novel treatment strategies.

EGAD50000001568	Whole genome sequencing data from infant (<1 y) paediatric (< 18 y) KMT2A-rearranged acute lymphoblastic leukemias. Dataset includes fastq and BAM files from diagnostic and remission (control) samples of 3 patients. Dataset consists of two experiments depending on library preparation method; "Experiment 1" is made using normal WGS library preparation (pcr+), and "Experiment 2" is made using pcr-free library preparation method.
