Secondly, we determined which of the subtype-specific DMCs correlated with microarray-based gene expression data for 93 of the ALL samples of the t(12;21), HeH, t(1;19), t(9;22), dic(9;20), MLL/11q23 and T-ALL subtypes (Additional file 2: Table S6). Here, KMT2A is linked to acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
