Prognostic and oncogenic relevance of TLX1/HOX11 expression level in T-ALLs
Bibliographic record
Abstract
TLX1 is a homeodomain transcription factor generally associated with a favorable outcome in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). However, the molecular mechanisms of TLX1 deregulation remain unclear and various transcript levels in the absence of 10q24 abnormalities have been reported. A reproducible and accurate delineation of TLX1(+) T-ALL will be necessary for proper therapeutic stratification. We have studied 264 unselected T-ALLs (171 adults and 93 children) and show that T-ALLs expressing high levels of TLX1 (n = 35, 13%), defined as a real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR) level of TLX1 greater than 1.00 ABL, form a homogeneous oncogenic group, based on their uniform stage of maturation arrest and oncogenetic and transcriptional profiles. Furthermore, TLX1-high T-ALLs harbor molecular TLX1 locus abnormalities in the majority (31/33), a proportion largely underestimated by standard karyotypic screening. T-ALLs expressing TLX1 at lower levels (n = 57, 22%) do not share these characteristics. Prognostic analysis within the adult LALA94 and GRAALL03 prospective protocols demonstrate a better event-free survival (P = .035) and a marked trend for longer overall survival (P = .059) for TLX1-high T-ALLs, while the expression of lower levels of TLX1 does not impact on prognosis. We propose that TLX1(+) T-ALLs be defined as cases expressing TLX1/ABL ratios greater than 1 and/or demonstrating TLX1 rearrangement. Therapeutic modification should be considered for those patients.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
