The Journal of pediatrics, 2013•ElsevierA small fraction of cases of juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) develop massive
disease activation. Through genomic analysis of JMML, which developed in an individual
with mosaicism for oncogenic KRAS mutation with rapid progression, we identified acquired
uniparental disomy at 12p. We demonstrated that duplication of oncogenic KRAS is
associated with rapid JMML progression.
