Acquisition of oncogenic mutations with age is believed to be rate limiting for carcinogenesis. However, the incidence of leukemia in children is higher than in young adults. Here we compare somatic mutations across pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (pAML) patient-matched leukemic blasts and hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), as well as HSPCs from age-matched healthy donors. HSPCs in the leukemic bone marrow have limited genetic relatedness and share few somatic mutations with the cell-of-origin of the malignant blasts, suggesting polyclonal hematopoiesis in pAML patients. Compared to normal HSPCs, a subset of pAML cases harbored more somatic mutations and a distinct composition of mutational process signatures. We hypothesize these cases might have arisen from a more committed progenitor. This subset had better outcomes than pAML cases with mutation burden comparable to age-matched healthy HSPCs. Our study provides insights into the etiology and patient stratification of pAML.
