Cytogenetic landscape aberrations in paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukaemia - a polish paediatric population treated according to ALL-IC BFM 2009 protocol.

ABSTRACT: Genetic findings are important independent prognostic factors in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). This study presents cytogenetic data correlated with clinical factors of 1337 patients aged 1-18 years with newly diagnosed ALL treated between 2011 and 2018 under the Polish ALL IC-BFM 2009 therapeutic protocol. Overall survival (OS) for children with B-cell ALL was 95.58% at 5 years, while OS for children with T-cell ALL was 80.43% (p < 0.001). The event-free survival (EFS) rates were 86.69% and 72.92%, respectively, and the difference was also statistically significant (p < 0.001). The most common karyotypes observed were normal in 31.79% (n = 425) and high hyperdiploidy (HeH) in 18.4% (n = 246). Two aberrations were associated with a good prognosis in patients with B-cell ALL
