## BACKGROUND. Although it is widely accepted that failure to achieve complete remission (CR) portends a poor prognosis in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), there is variability in the precise definition of induction failure and, to the authors' knowledge, few published data exist regar

## Abstract The __TEL/AML1__ rearrangement has been implicated as an independent good prognostic factor in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We examined __TEL/AML1__ using nested reverseβtranscription polymerase chain reaction (RTβPCR) and correlated __TEL/AML1__ with cytogenetics and i
## BACKGROUND. Cranial radiation therapy (CRT) has been suggested to be a principal factor responsible for long term neurocognitive deficits in survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, neither reduction of the irradiation dose nor the elimination of irradiation entirely appear to h
TEL/AML1 gene fusion is the most frequent genetic lesion in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It occurs as a consequence of the cryptic chromosomal translocation t(12;21)(p13;q22). In a cohort of 50 RT-PCR-positive TEL/AML1 patients, karyotype examination by GTG banding and fluorescence
To determine the incidence of thrombocytosis at presentation in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), medical records of all children diagnosed at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh from 1980 to 1987 were reviewed. Out of 217 such patients, 7 (3.2%) had platelet counts greater than 400,000/mm3. All
