Prognostic value of cytogenetics in adult patients with Philadelphia-negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Abstract: The prognostic value of cytogenetics in adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is not as established as in childhood ALL. We have analyzed the outcome and prognostic value of karyotype in 84 adults diagnosed with Philadelphia-negative ALL from a single institution that received induction chemotherapy and had successful karyotype performed. The most frequent finding was normal karyotype in 35 (42%) cases, followed by aneuploidies in 20 cases (24%) and t(4;11)(q21;q23)/MLL/AF4 in 5 (6%), and the remaining 24(2… Show more

“…As a specific cytogenetic subgroup of ALL, HeH has a reported frequency of 5-10% [25][26]. The pattern observed is nonrandom; however, chromosomes X, 4, 6, 10, 14, 17, 18 and 21 are found to be the most frequently gained ones [11,14].…”
