Abstract

Comprehending the genetic background of pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is the key to risk stratification. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology uses target panels that may detect additional genetic subsets. The study describes the experience of using NGS at an institution. Patients who showed poor outcome aberration were referred to hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). 11 patients were tested. Aberrations were found in all subjects, indicating referral to HSCT in first remission in 2 cases and helping to outline the genetic features in all cases. NGS is a valuable tool in the precision medicine era and should be widely accessible.
