Overview

NCI Definition: An acute leukemia in which the blasts lack sufficient evidence to classify as myeloid or lymphoid or they have morphologic and/or immunophenotypic characteristics of both myeloid and lymphoid cells. (WHO, 2001) [1]

Acute leukemia of ambiguous lineages most frequently harbor alterations in DNMT3A, RUNX1, TP53, TET2, and BCOR [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Acute Leukemia of Ambiguous Lineage

TP53 Mutation, RUNX1 Mutation, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, TP53 Missense, and TET2 Mutation are the most common alterations in acute leukemia of ambiguous lineage [2].
