B-acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL) is the most common cancer in children, with 20% of patients relapsing. CD9, a transmembrane protein, is linked to the migratory and adhesion capacities of leukaemia cells and could be associated with relapses. The aim of this project is to understand how CD9 regulation can be a marker of potential relapses, using bone and blood sampling of newly diagnosed patients at 3 crucial moments of therapy.
