Abstract

High hyperdiploidy (51–67 chromosomes) is the most common cytogenetic abnormality pattern in childhood B‐cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), occurring in 25–30% of such cases. High hyperdiploid ALL is characterized cytogenetically by a nonrandom gain of chromosomes X, 4, 6, 10, 14, 17, 18, and 21 and clinically by a favorable prognosis. Despite the high frequency of this karyotypic subgroup, many questions remain regarding the epidemiology, etiology, presence of other genetic changes, the time and cell of origin, and the formation and pathogenetic consequences of high hyperdiploidy. However, during the last few years, several studies have addressed some of these important issues, and these, as well as previous reports on high hyperdiploid childhood ALL, are reviewed herein. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract Although it has been suggested that mutations of the __FLT3__, __NRAS__, __KRAS__, and __PTPN11__ genes are particularly frequent in high hyperdiploid (>50 chromosomes) pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALLs), this has as yet not been confirmed in a large patient cohort.

## Abstract High hyperdiploidy (>50 chromosomes) in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is characterized by nonrandom multiple trisomies and tetrasomies involving in particular chromosomes X, 4, 6, 8, 10, 14, 17, 18, and 21.

We used a German population‐based case‐control study with self‐reported information on allergies of the children and their first‐degree relatives. Ou

## 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
