Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tissue from patients with cancer the in laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This research study is studying biomarkers in tissue samples from young patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

* To determine whether the pattern of global and TSG-specific promoter CpG island hypermethylation and gene silencing that we have shown characterizes MLL-rearranged (MLL-r) infant bilineage ALL is also characteristic of other subsets of MLL-r leukemia.

OUTLINE: Previously collected cryopreserved cells from diagnosis are analyzed for promoter methylation via HELP arrays, gene expression arrays, and RT-qPCR.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 32 samples (8 from each of 4 biologically defined cohorts) will be analyzed.
