Both NH and LH had activation of RAS signaling and P13K signaling pathways and sensitive to P13K inhibitors indicating these drugs may offer a new therapeutic option<ref name=":2" />. Inn this group, several studies have not only identified a high percentage of pediatric patients with ''TP53'' mutations, but close to half displayed germline mutations, suggesting that LH ALL is a manifestation of Li-Fraumeni syndrome in children.  Adults also showed a high incidence of ''TP53'' (91%) in low hypodiploid ALL mutations, but these mutations appear to be somatic in origin. In NH, mutations appear in genes involving receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) pathway, Ras signaling, ''IKZF3'' (17q21.1), and histone clusters, but rarely ''IZFK2'', ''RB1'', or ''TP53''<ref name=":2" />.
