Prognostic importance of cytogenetic subgroups in de novo pediatric acute nonlymphocytic leukemia.

Abstract: Reports of close associations between recurring chromosomal abnormalities and the clinical behavior of acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) have stimulated efforts to define this disease in cytogenetic terms. Here we report on the leukemic cell karyotypes of 155 children with ANLL who were treated from 1980 to 1987 in consecutive programs of chemotherapy at this institution. Of 121 cases with adequate banding, 20% were normal, 30% had miscellaneous clonal abnormalities, and 50% were classified into known cytog… Show more

“…[16][17][18][19] The annual incidence of childhood AML is 5.4/million vs 4.0 for MDS. 1 Thus, the ratio of MDS vs AML should, accepting the Danish population-based figures, be 4.9.…”

“…4,5,15 Only 4-5% of childhood AML cases show −7/7q−. [16][17][18][19] AML patients with −7/7q− have a very poor prognosis, 16,17,19 but due to the infrequency of the association there are very few data on the clinical characteristics of these patients.…”

“…The incidence of 11q23 anomalies in our series is in accordance with previous reports. [31][32][33][34][35] This cytogenetic recently reported in combination with CD15 and cytoplasmic myeloperoxidase in numerous ANLL subsets 24 including M2-abnormality was also described in B lineage ALL, exhibiting in some cases myeloid features at diagnosis with expression ANLL with t(8;21). 16 Such an asynchronous expression of CD34 with myeloid differentiation antigens suggests a disby blast cells of CD15 or CDw65 antigens or relapsing with a myeloid phenotype.…”

“…Children with t(9;11)(p22;q23)-associated AML were reported to have a favorable prognosis. [27][28][29] Adults with t(9;11)(p22;q23)-associated AML had a better treatment outcome than adults with other 11q23 translocation-associated AML. 30 The partner gene, AF9, 31 which juxtaposes to MLL, may influence the favorable prognosis of patients with t(9;11) AML.…”
