Although some of these changes are accepted as favorable or poor prognostic factors, the prognostic effects of others have not been well determined. In our study, we aimed to present the chromosomal changes in cases with childhood ALL and their ratios in hematologic risk groups. Thirty four patients with childhood ALL were included in the study. Subjects were diagnosed with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis by using standard translocation, deletion and aneuploidy probes. The chromosomal changes obtained from our analysis were classified into hematologic risk groups and their ratios were evaluated. In our study, we found that the t(12.21) translocation was the most common abnormality in minimal and standard risk groups, whereas the 9p21 deletion was the most common abnormality among high-risk patients.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOncologyAcute lymphoblastic leukemiaMolecular cytogeneticChromosomal anomalyHigh hyperdiploidyChildrenRearrangementsAbnormalitiesGenesP15Akut lenfoblastik lösemiKromozomal anomaliMoleküler sitogenetikArticle0003063893000012-s2.0-848638760016772222OncologyAcute Lymphoblastic Leukemia; Chromosome 21; Pre B LymphocyteAcute lymphoblastic leukemiaAdolescentAneuploidyArticleChildChildhood leukemiaChromosome analysisChromosome deletionChromosome translocationClinical articleCytogeneticsFemaleFluorescence in situ hybridizationHumanMalePreschool childRisk factorSchool child
