Infant acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with MLL rearrangements (MLL-R) represents a distinct leukemia with a poor prognosis. To define its mutational landscape, we performed whole genome, exome, RNA and targeted DNA sequencing on 65 infants (47 MLL-R and 18 non-MLL-R) and 20 older children (MLL-R cases) with leukemia. Our data demonstrated infant MLL-R ALL to have one of the lowest frequencies of somatic mutations of any sequenced cancer, with the predominant leukemic clone carrying a mean of 1.3 non-silent mutations. Despite the paucity of mutations, activating mutations in kinase/PI3K/RAS signaling pathways were detected in 47%. Surprisingly, however, these mutations were often sub-clonal and frequently lost at relapse. In contrast to infant cases, MLL-R leukemia in older children had more somatic mutations (a mean of 6.5/case versus 1.3/case, P=7.15×10−5) and contained frequent mutations (45%) in epigenetic regulators, a category of genes that with the exception of MLL was rarely mutated in infant MLL-R ALL.
