B-ALL with MEF2D gene rearrangement predominantly affects older children, typically presenting with fever accompanied by arthralgia. This subtype exhibits high CD38 expression and absence of cIgM expression, with a frequent incidence of CDKN2A or CDKN2B gene deletions. Although the initial treatment response was good, the risk of recurrence was high and the efficacy of salvage treatment was limited. For this high-risk sub-type, the use of next-generation sequencing for MRD monitoring could be explored to more accurately assess the risk of relapse.
