Outcome in children with Down's syndrome and acute lymphoblastic leukemia: role of IKZF1 deletions and CRLF2 aberrations

et al. 2012

Children with Down's syndrome (DS) have an increased risk of developing acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and have a low frequency of established genetic aberrations. We aimed to determine which genetic abnormalities are involved in DS ALL. We studied the frequency and prognostic value of deletions in B-cell development genes and aberrations of janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and cytokine receptor-like factor 2 (CRLF2) using array-comparative genomic hybridization, and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification in a population-based cohort of 34 Dutch Childhood Oncology Group DS ALL samples. A population-based cohort of 88 DS samples from the UK trials was used to validate survival estimates for IKZF1 and CRLF2 abnormalities. In total, 50% of DS ALL patients had X1 deletion in the B-cell development genes: PAX5 (12%), VPREB1 (18%) and IKZF1 (35%). JAK2 was mutated in 15% of patients, genomic CRLF2 rearrangements in 62%. Outcome was significantly worse in patients with IKZF1 deletions (6-year eventfree survival (EFS) 45 ± 16% vs 95 ± 4%; P ¼ 0.002), which was confirmed in the validation cohort (6-year EFS 21 ± 12% vs 58 ± 11%; P ¼ 0.002). This IKZF1 deletion was a strong independent predictor for outcome (hazard ratio EFS 3.05; P ¼ 0.001). Neither CRLF2 nor JAK2 were predictors for worse prognosis. If confirmed in prospective series, IKZF1 deletions may be used for risk-group stratification in DS ALL.

The latter abnormality includes small deletions within the pseudoautosomal region (PAR1) of the sex chromosomes as well as the translocation of this region to the IGH@ locus on chromosome 14.…”

Poor prognosis for P2RY8-CRLF2 fusion but not for CRLF2 over-expression in children with intermediate risk B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia

et al. 2012

Pediatric B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) has achieved an 80% cure rate as a result of a risk-adapted therapy largely based on minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring. However, relapse is still the most frequent adverse event, occurring mainly in the patients with intermediate MRD levels (intermediate risk, IR), emphasizing the need for new prognostic markers. We analyzed the prognostic impact of cytokine receptor-like factor 2 (CRLF2) over-expression and P2RY8-CRLF2 fusion in 464 BCP-ALL patients (not affected by Down syndrome and BCR-ABL negative) enrolled in the AIEOP-BFM ALL2000 study in Italy. In 22/464 (4.7%) samples, RQ-PCR showed CRLF2 over-expression (X20 times higher than the overall median). P2RY8-CRLF2 fusion was detected in 22/365 (6%) cases, with 10/22 cases also showing CRLF2 over-expression. P2RY8-CRLF2 fusion was the most relevant prognostic factor independent of CRLF2 over-expression with a threefold increase in risk of relapse. Significantly, the cumulative incidence of relapse of the P2RY8-CRLF2 þ patients in the IR group was high (61.1% ± 12.9 vs 17.6% ± 2.6, Po0.0001), similar to high-risk patients in AIEOP-BFM ALL2000 study. These results were confirmed in a cohort of patients treated in Germany. In conclusion, P2RY8-CRLF2 identifies a subset of BCP-ALL patients currently stratified as IR that could be considered for treatment intensification.

Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is seen in both children and adults, but its incidence peaks between ages 2 and 5 years. The causation of ALL is considered to be multi-factorial, including exogenous or endogenous exposures, genetic susceptibility, and chance. The survival rate of paediatric ALL has improved to approximately 90% in recent trials with risk stratification by biologic features of leukaemic cells and response to therapy, therapy modification based on patient pharmacodynamics and pharmacogenomics, and improved supportive care. However, innovative approaches are needed to further improve survival while reducing adverse effects. While most children can be cured, the prognosis of infants and adults with ALL remains poor. Recent genomewide profiling of germline and leukaemic cell DNA has identified novel submicroscopic structural genetic alterations and sequence mutations that contribute to leukaemogenesis, define new ALL subtypes, influence responsiveness to treatment, and may provide novel prognostic markers and therapeutic targets for personalized medicine. Epidemiology ALL, like cancer in general, is likely to arise from interactions between exogenous or endogenous exposures, genetic (inherited) susceptibility, and chance (figure 1). These factors account for the approximately 1 in 2000 risk of childhood (0-15 years) ALL. The challenge is to identify the relevant exposures and inherited genetic variants and to decipher
