Resumen o descripción

Conventional cytogenetics (CC) can be used to identify chromosomal abnormalities that are predictors of treatment outcome in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The detection of abnormalities in ALL is difficult because low mitotic index and poor-quality metaphases are obtained. Flow cytometry (FC) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) can be used to detect aneuploidy in any phaseofthecellcycle,increasingthenumberofanalyzablecells.The aim of this study was to develop a strategy combining these methods toimprovethefrequencyofchromosomeabnormalitydetection.One hundred children with newly diagnosed ALL were included. CC and DNA content analysis by FC were performed in all patients. The numericalabnormalitiesidentifiedbybothmethodswerecomparedand patientswereclassifiedasconcordantordiscordant.FISHwasusedto support aneuploidy results in discrepant cases using centromeric probesforthechromosomesmostfrequentlyinvolvedinaneuploidy. CC and FC showed high concordance (86%). Fourteen cases were discrepant: nine showed hypodiploidy and low hyperdiploidy by cytogenetics and five showed high hyperdiploidy by FC. FISH confirmed aneuploidy in 12 cases in which it could be performed. High hyperdiploidywasthemostcommonabnormality;the31casesshowing this aneuploidy were identified by FC.
