Intrachromosomal amplification of chromosome 21 (iAMP21) is a neoplasm of lymphoblasts that are of the B-cell lineage. It is characterized by amplification of the ''RUNX1'' gene at 21q22.3 on a structurally abnormal chromosome 21. Amplification is defined as ≥5 copies of ''RUNX1'' detected by FISH or ≥3 copies of ''RUNX1'' on a single abnormal chromosome 21.<ref name=":02">Borowitz MJ, et al., (2017).

==Epidemiology / Prevalence==


iAMP21 is observed most often in the older pediatric group (median age of 9 years, with a range of 2-30 years). It accounts for ~2% of B-ALL cases including ~2% of standard-risk and 3% of high-risk patients. The incidence in adult B-ALL has not been established; however, it appears to be less prevalent than in the pediatric population.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=Akkari|first=Yassmine M. N.|last2=Bruyere|first2=Helene|last3=Hagelstrom|first3=R.

Further, patients carrying a rob(15;21)(q10;q10) have an ~2700-fold increased risk of developing iAMP21 ALL compared to the general population. Additionally, patients with a constitutional ring chromosome 21, r(21), may potentially be predisposed to iAMP21 ALL.<ref name=":0" />
==Clinical Features==
~50% of cases are classified as high-risk based on an age of ≥10 years.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Harrison|first=Christine J.|date=2015-02-26|title=Blood Spotlight on iAMP21 acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), a high-risk pediatric disease|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25608562|journal=Blood|volume=125|issue=9|pages=1383–1386|doi=10.1182/blood-2014-08-569228|issn=1528-0020|pmid=25608562}}</ref> Pediatric iAMP21 has been associated with a poor outcome. It displays an increased rate of relapse when treated on standard protocols. Further, the event-free survival and overall survival were significantly worse for individuals with the iAMP21 and standard-risk B-ALL, but not significant in individuals with iAMP21 and high-risk B-ALL.

In ~80% of iAMP21 B-ALL cases, recurrent secondary abnormalities, both chromosomal and molecular, have been documented. Deletions involving particular genes such as; ''IKZF1, CDKN2A/B, PAX5, SH2B3, ETV6'' and ''RB1'' have also been observed.

*~50% of cases are classified as high-risk based on an age of ≥10 years.<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal|last=Harrison|first=Christine J.|date=2015-02-26|title=Blood Spotlight on iAMP21 acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), a high-risk pediatric disease|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25608562|journal=Blood|volume=125|issue=9|pages=1383–1386|doi=10.1182/blood-2014-08-569228|issn=1528-0020|pmid=25608562}}</ref> Pediatric iAMP21 has been associated with a poor outcome. It displays an increased rate of relapse when treated on standard protocols. Further, the event-free survival and overall survival were significantly worse for individuals with the iAMP21 and standard-risk B-ALL, but not significant in individuals with iAMP21 and high-risk B-ALL.
*Laboratory findings - Low platelet count; Low WBC count (<50,000/μl)
 
The <u>sites of involvement</u> of this disease are detailed below:
 
*Bone Marrow and peripheral blood
 
The <u>morphologic features</u> of this disease are detailed below:
 
*There are no unique morphological or cytochemical features that distinguish this entity from other types of ALL.<ref name=":02" />
 
The <u>immunophenotype</u> of this disease is detailed below:
 
*No detailed information is known, other than these cases occur exclusively in B-ALL.<ref name=":02" />
