This retrospective analysis aims to investigate pediatric patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia who were detected for minimal residual disease (MRD) using next-generation sequencing (NGS). The study will utilize second-generation sequencing technology to analyze the rearrangement of the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH), immunoglobulin kappa light chain (IGK), and immunoglobulin lambda light chain (IGL) genes in these patients. Patients will be stratified based on NGS-MRD levels, and the relationship between NGS-MRD and Event-Free Survival (EFS) will be evaluated.
