Purpose: Activating Notch-1 mutations are frequent in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), occurring in > 50% of patients. In murine models of T-ALL, Notch-1 activation can both directly initiate leukemia and cooperate secondarily to other primary events. Whether acquisition of Notch-1 mutations is an early initiating event or a secondary event in the pathogenesis of human T-ALL is unclear.Experimental Design: We used denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography, sequencing, and fragment analysis to analyze Notch-1 mutational status and mutant level in 62 patients at presentation as well as 16 matched presentation-relapse samples.Results: We detected Notch-1 mutations in 47 patients (76%). Seven of these were low-level mutations (quantified at
