Sca1-ETV6-RUNX1 + Pax5-het B-ALL clustered together with B-ALL that originated as a result of Pax5 loss (Martin-Lorenzo et al., 2015), whereas Sca1-ETV6-RUNX1 + Kdm5cf/wt + Sca1-Cre B-ALL clustered with ETV6-ETV6–RUNX1 + Sca1-Cre B-ALL. This evidence concerns the gene PAX5 and acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
