Integrative genomic analysis of adult mixed phenotype acute leukemia delineates lineage associated molecular subtypes

Mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) is a rare leukemia that presents both myeloid and lymphoid markers on blasts. Here the authors perform genomic analysis to show MPAL involves genetic and epigenetic heterogeneity and is genetically distinct from AML, B-ALL, and T-ALL.
