Abstract

B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (B-ALL) is a malignant neoplasm of B-cell precursors in the bone marrow and blood. Next generation sequencing has the potential to improve risk stratification and treatment approaches for B-ALL patients. Using this approach, causative genetic lesions in various kinase and cytokine receptor signalling molecules have been identified, some of which are targetable using rational therapies.
