Genomic Landscape of Pediatric Myelodysplastic Syndromes

Pediatric myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a rare disease and unlike their adult counterpart, very little is known about their genomic landscape. We characterized a cohort of patients from a single institution by whole exome sequencing, as well as a subset of patients by whole genome sequencing, RNA-sequencing and targeted deep sequencing. We found a spectrum of mutations, both somatic and germline, that are distinct from those observed in adult MDS. In turn, we observed mutations commonly observed in other pediatric myeloid tumors.
