The influence of genetic ancestry on genomics in T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL) has not been fully explored. We examined the impact of genetic ancestry on multi-omic alterations, survival outcomes, and risk stratification. Among 1309 children and young adults with T-ALL treated on the Children's Oncology Group trial AALL0434, the prognostic value of five commonly altered T-ALL genes varied by ancestry-including NOTCH1, which was associated with superior overall survival for patients of European ancestry but non-prognostic among patients of African ancestry. Integrating genetic ancestry with published T-ALL risk classifiers, we identified that a X01 Penalized Cox Regression classifier stratified patients regardless of ancestry, whereas a European multi-gene classifier misclassified patients of certain ancestries. Overall, 80% of patients harbored a genomic alteration in at least one gene with differential prognostic impact in an ancestry-specific manner. These data demonstrate the importance of incorporating genetic ancestry into genomic risk classification.
遗传血统对T细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病(T-ALL)基因组学的影响尚未得到充分探索。我们研究了遗传血统对多组学改变、生存结果和风险分层的影响。在儿童肿瘤学组试验AALL0434中接受治疗的1309名T-ALL儿童和年轻成人中,五个常见的T-ALL基因的预后价值因血统而异,包括NOTCH1,该基因与欧洲血统患者的总体生存率较高相关,但在非洲血统患者中无预后价值。将遗传血统与已发表的T-ALL风险分类器相结合,我们发现X01惩罚性Cox回归分类器可以对患者进行分层,而不考虑血统,而欧洲多基因分类器则会对某些血统的患者进行错误分类。总体而言,80%的患者至少有一个基因发生了基因组改变,这些改变在特定血统中具有不同的预后影响。这些数据证明了将遗传血统纳入基因组风险分类的重要性。
