Identification of point mutations and fusion genes in paediatric cancers using transcriptome sequencing

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) is the most common leukaemia in childhood (Hemminki and Jiang 2002), and Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid tumour (Eng 2008). Here, transcriptome sequencing has been used to screen for novel point mutations and fusion genes in four paediatri...
