Single nucleotide polymorphism array-based signature of low hypodiploidy in acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

ABSTRACT: Low hypodiploidy (30-39 chromosomes) is one of the most prevalent genetic subtypes among adults with ALL and is associated with a very poor outcome. Low hypodiploid clones can often undergo a chromosomal doubling generating a near-triploid clone (60-78 chromosomes). When cytogenetic techniques detect a near triploid clone, a diagnostic challenge may ensue in differentiating presumed duplicated low hypodiploidy from good risk high hyperdiploid ALL (51-67 chromosomes). We used single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays to analyze low hypodiploid/near triploid (HoTr) (n = 48) and high hyperdiploid (HeH) (n = 40) cases. In addition to standard analysis, we derived log2 ratios for entire chromosomes enabling us to analyze the cohort using machine-learning techniques. Low hypodiploid and near t
