Rearrangements involving the DUX4 gene (DUX4-r) define a subtype of paediatric and adult acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) with a favourable outcome. Currently, there is no standard of care diagnostic method for their confident identification. Here, we present an open-source software tool designed to detect DUX4-r from short-read, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data. Evaluation on a cohort of 210 paediatric ALL cases showed that our method detects all known, as well as previously unidentified, cases of IGH::DUX4 and rearrangements with other partner genes. These findings demonstrate the possibility of robustly detecting DUX4-r using WGS in the routine clinical setting.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
