Aneuploidy in children with relapsed B‐cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia: clinical importance of detecting a hypodiploid origin of relapse
3 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
Aneuploidy is common in paediatric B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). Specific subgroups, such as high hyperdiploidy (>50 chromosomes or DNA Index ≥1·16) and hypodiploidy (<45 chromosomes), predict outcome of patients after primary treatment. Whether aneuploidy has a prognostic value for relapsed disease is yet to be determined. Using DNA index and centromere screening by multiplex...
