Furthermore, specific genetic changes, such as GATA1 mutations in TMD and ML-DS that would possibly enable early diagnosis and treatment, seem to be rare in DS-ALL [14], although deregulation of the CRLF2 gene at Xp22.33/Yp11.32 is more prevalent in DS-ALL compared with non-DS-ALL, as are specific mutations in exon 16 of JAK2 at 9p24.1 [15-18]. This evidence concerns the gene GATA1 and Dravet syndrome.
