Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the most common cancer in children, is overall divided into two subtypes, B-cell precursor ALL (B-ALL) and T-cell ALL (T-ALL), which have different molecular characteristics. Despite massive progress in understanding the disease trajectories of ALL, ALL remains a major cause of death in children. Thus, further research exploring the biological foundations of ALL is essential. Here, we examined the diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic potential of gene expression data in pediatric patients with ALL. We discovered a subset of expression markers differentiating B- and T-ALL:CCN2,VPREB3,NDST3,EBF1, RN7SKP185, RN7SKP291, SNORA73B, RN7SKP255, SNORA74A, RN7SKP48, RN7SKP80, LINC00114, a novel gene (ENSG00000227706), and 7SK. The expression level of these markers all demonstrated significant effects on survival of the patients, comparing the two subtypes. We also discovered four expression subgroups in the expression data with eight genes driving separation between two of these predicted subgroups. A subset of the 14 markers could separate B- and T-ALL in an independent cohort of patients with ALL. This study can enhance our knowledge of the transcriptomic profile of different ALL subtypes.
