BACKGROUND: Molecular analyses in hematological malignancies provide insights about genetic makeup. Probable etiological factors in leukemogenesis could also be disclosed. Since genetic analyses are still primitive in Iraq, a country of repeated wars, we conceived of performing next-generation sequencing (NGS), to disclose the genomic landscape of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) among a cohort of Iraqi children.
METHODS: Dried blood samples were collected from Iraqi children with ALL (n=55), or AML (n=11), and transferred to Japan where NGS was done. Whole-exome, whole-genome, and targeted gene sequencings were performed.
RESULTS: Somatic point mutations and the copy number variations among Iraqi children with acute leukemia were comparable with those in other countries, and cytosine-to-thymine nucleotide alterations were dominant. Strikingly, TCF3-PBX1 was the most recurrent fusion gene (22.4%) in B-cell precursor ALL (B-ALL), and acute promyelocytic leukemia (AML-M3) was subtyped in 5 AML cases. Additionally, a high frequency of RAS signaling pathway mutations was detected in children with B-ALL (38.8%), along with 3 AML cases that carried oncogenic RAS.
CONCLUSIONS: Apart from disclosing the high frequency of TCF3-PBX1, NGS confirmed our previous finding of recurrent RAS mutations in Iraqi childhood acute leukemia. Our results suggest that the biology of Iraqi childhood acute leukemia is in part characteristic, where the war-aftermath environment or geography might play a role.
