Relationship between subtype-specific minimal residual disease level and long-term prognosis in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Minimal residual disease (MRD) based risk stratification criteria for specific genetic subtypes remained unclear in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Among 723 children with newly diagnosed ALL treated with the Chinese Children Leukemia Group CCLG-2008 protocol, MRD was assessed at time point 1 (TP1, at the end of induction) and TP2 (before consolidation treatment) and the MRD levels significantly differed in patients with different fusion genes or immunophenotypes (P all < 0.001).

Clinical, biological, and outcome features of P2RY8-CRLF2 and CRLF2 over-expression in pediatric B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia according to the CCLG-ALL 2008 and 2018 protocol.

Objectives: CRLF2 alterations are associated with B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL). This study aimed to explore the clinical, biological, and outcome features of pediatric BCP-ALL with CRLF2 abnormalities.

Methods: This study enrolled 630 childhood BCP-ALLs treated on CCLG-ALL 2008 or 2018 protocol.

Prognostic significance of mutations in pediatric T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia: a study of minimal residual disease risk-directed CCLG-ALL 2008 treatment protocol.

/ mutation is common in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), but controversy looms on its prognostic significance. We screened 98 pediatric T-ALL patients treated on minimal residual disease (MRD) risk-directed CCLG-ALL 2008 protocol. / mutations were analyzed by Sanger sequencing, and MRD was evaluated by flow cytometry.
