Acute Leukemia
Conditions
Brief summary
Descriptive study of acute leukemia patients. Bone marrow aspirate or peripheral blood samples will be analyzed by next-generation sequencing for novel gene signatures and variations in transcriptional and epigenetic regulatory elements such as ARID5B and SALL4 variants.
Interventions
Collection of specimen samples only

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Newly diagnosed or relapsed acute leukemia (AML or ALL) * Plan to undergo diagnostic bone marrow aspirate or peripheral blood if clinically indicated (i.e. WBC\>50,000 and bone marrow contraindicated) * Age 1 month to 30 years * Understand and provide informed consent (subject if\>18, legal guardian if\<18)
Exclusion criteria
* Age 0 to 4 weeks * Treatment related leukemia or leukemia secondary to MDS * Situations that would limit compliance with study requirements or ability to willingly give consent
