Abstract:
Karyotyping along with a 3-probe fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) strategy was used to risk stratify therapy in 303 children with B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Of the 166 patients risk stratified, karyotype identified 91 (55%). FISH identified all karyotypes accurately, with the exception of hypodiploidy, and risk stratified an additional 75 patients. The frequency of ETV6-RUNX1 is lower and high hyperdiploidy, higher than reported in the west. An adapted 3-probe FISH strategy identified two patients with ETV6-ABL1 fusion who received imatinib. In limited-resource settings, a 3-probe FISH approach provides a practical approach for risk-stratified therapy in childhood ALL.
