Pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an uncommon but aggressive hematological malignancy. The poor outcome is attributed to inadequate prognostic classification and limited treatment options. A thorough understanding on the genetic basis of pediatric AML is important for the development of effective approaches to improve outcomes. Here, by comprehensively profiling fusion genes as well as mutations and copy number changes of 141 myeloid-related genes in 147 pediatric AML patients with subsequent variant functional characterization, we unveil complex mutational patterns of biological relevance and disease mechanisms including MYC deregulation. Also, our findings highlight TP53 alterations as strong adverse prognostic markers in pediatric AML and suggest the core spindle checkpoint kinase BUB1B as a selective dependency in this aggressive subgroup. Collectively, our present study provides detailed genomic characterization revealing not only complexities and mechanistic insights into pediatric AML but also significant risk stratification and therapeutic strategies to tackle the disease. A genomic analysis of 147 pediatric acute myeloid leukemia patients identifies extensive gene fusion events and mutations that expand our understanding of the genetic complexities of this cancer.
