Author contributions

Drs. Zhaodong Xu, Ruth Padmore, and Luke Shier were responsible for the flow immunophenotyping and immunohistochemistry analyses that led to the diagnosis of mixed phenotype acute leukemia with C-MYC over-expression. Dr. Melanie Beaulieu Bergeron was responsible for the standard chromosome analysis and FISH testing. Dr. Xu was the main author of the manuscript, in collaboration with Dr Beaulieu Bergeron.
