Additional chromosomal aberrations occur frequently in Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) of childhood. The treatment outcome of these patients is heterogeneous. This study assessed whether such clinical heterogeneity could be partially explained by the...

For long, T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) remained in the shadow of precursor B-ALL because it was more seldom, and showed a normal karyotype in more than 50% of cases. The last decennia, intense research has been carried out on different fronts. On one side, development of normal...

Peripheral blood eosinophilia as a presentation of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has only rarely been reported. The eosinophilia is thought to be a non neoplastic reaction to the neoplastic lympho blasts. We present the case of a 5-year-old girl who developed peripheral hyper eosinophilia...

INTRODUCTION : An important factor in the diagnosis of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)is that karyotype ia an independent prognostic indicator, with an impact on the choice of treatment. Therefore pretreatment karyotyping on the cells of ALL patient is essential as the identification of the...

Patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) and/or BCR�ABL+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have extremely poor prognoses. Most of these patients have additional, heterogenous karyotype abnormalities, the majority of which have uncertain clinical significance. In this study we...

Clonal genetic aberrations in tumour cells provide critical information for the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for patients. In paediatric T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL) chromosomal translocations are present in 30-35% of cases. HOX11 and the closely...
