Mapping the Cellular Origin and Early Evolution of Leukemia in Down Syndrome
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Children with Down syndrome have a 150-fold increased risk of developing myeloid leukemia, but the mechanism of predisposition is unclear. As Down syndrome leukemogenesis initiates during fetal development, we characterized the cellular context of preleukemic initiation and leukemic progression using gene editing in human disomic and trisomic fetal liver hematopoietic cells and xenotransplantation. GATA1 mutations caused transient preleukemia only when introduced into trisomy 21 long-term hematopoietic stem cells, where a subset of chromosome 21 miRNAs triggers predisposition to preleukemia. By contrast, progression to leukemia was independent of trisomy 21 and originated in various stem and progenitor cells through additional mutations in cohesin genes. CD117+/KIT cells mediated the propagation of preleukemia and leukemia, and functional KIT inhibition targeted preleukemic stem cells, blocking progression to leukemia.

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.
