Abstract

BACKGROUND: The increasing volume and intricacy of sequencing data, along with other clinical and diagnostic data, like drug responses and measurable residual disease, creates challenges for efficient clinical comprehension and interpretation. Using paediatric B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (BCP-ALL) as a use case, we present an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted clinical framework clinALL that integrates genomic and clinical data into a user-friendly interface to support routine diagnostics and reveal translational insights for hematologic neoplasia.
