Understanding the molecular basis of leukaemia predisposition is essential for intervention. The authors here investigate germline genetic leukaemia predisposition by studying Shwachman-Diamond syndrome and report compensatory inactivating mutations in EIF6 and transforming biallelic TP53 alterations.
