Loss of Heterozygosity in the Tumor DNA of De Novo Diagnosed Patients Is Associated with Poor Outcome for B-ALL but Not for T-ALL

Abstract: Despite the introduction of new technologies in molecular diagnostics, one should not underestimate the traditional routine methods for studying tumor DNA. Here we present the evidence that short tandem repeat (STR) profiling of tumor DNA relative to DNA from healthy cells might identify chromosomal aberrations affecting therapy outcome. Tumor STR profiles of 87 adult patients with de novo Ph-negative ALL (40 B-ALL, 43 T-ALL, 4 mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL)) treated according to the “RALL-2016” regimen… Show more

“…This robust research tool provides information on a variety of changes in the genome, including chromosome aberrations and small deletions and insertions of several nucleotides. Previously, we studied the STR profiles of tumor cells in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, B-cell lymphomas, and multiple myeloma and observed two types of aberrations—loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and elevated microsatellite alteration at selected tetranucleotide repeats (EMAST) [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ]. When verified by the microarray, the STR loci with LOH were always in the region of large deletions or a copy neutral loss of heterozygosity.…”
