'''Based on WHO classification'''<ref name=":0" />''', hypodiploidy is divided into:'''
 
1. '''Near-haploidy (NH=23-29 chromosomes)'''
This is a very rare category, has been observed in the pediatric population with virtually no adult cases reported.  Nonrandom retention of the X chromosome plus chromosomes 8, 14, 18, and 21 are frequently observed.
 
2. '''Low Hypodiploidy (LH=33-39 chromosomes)'''
This category was reported in both children and adults.  Nonrandom retention of two copies of chromosomes from the following: the sex chromosomes plus chromosomes 1,6, 8, 10, 14, 18, and19.  Chromosome 21 is almost always retained in two copies.
 
3. '''High Hypodiploidy (HH=40-43 chromosomes)'''
This category was observed in both children and adults.  Chromosome abnormalities include whole chromosome loss, specifically one sex chromosome and often chromosomes 7, 9, and/or 13.  Also detected are structural anomalies especially dicentric chromosomes involving chromosomes 7, 9 or 12.
 
4. '''Near-diploid (ND=44-45 chromosomes)'''
This category is not often included in hypodiploid.

Sorting patients into these three rare groups is easy.  However, detecting the presence of a masked low-hypodiploid/masked near-hypodiploid group, which is endoreduplication of the low- and near-haploid groups and associated with a very poor prognosis, is difficult.  Often karyotypes in these two groups, usually ranging from 56-78 chromosomes, are mistaken for hyperdiploidy/near-triploidy, which in itself is associated with a good prognosis.  The key is to look for trisomies vs tetrasomies of the chromosomes.  Typically, hyperdiploidy/near-triploidy should have three copies of several chromosomes (usually the X, 4, 10, 17, and 18), and four copies of 14 and 21However, the masked low-hypodiploid/masked near-hypodiploid groups should show tetrasomies for the sex chromosomes and chromosomes 1, 14, 18, 21, and 22 while having only two copies of chromosomes 7 and 17.
 
When only a 56-78 chromosome count is detected, the above mentioned criteria is helpful, but SNP-array testing can also be informative. Masked near-haploidy appears to show LOH involving the chromosomes that are not gained and true hyperdiploidy will show heterozygosity. Dicentric chromosomes reportedly originated from chromosomes 9p, 12p or 20q in near diploid karyotypes<ref name=":2">{{Cite journal|last=Holmfeldt|first=Linda|last2=Wei|first2=Lei|last3=Diaz-Flores|first3=Ernesto|last4=Walsh|first4=Michael|last5=Zhang|first5=Jinghui|last6=Ding|first6=Li|last7=Payne-Turner|first7=Debbie|last8=Churchman|first8=Michelle|last9=Andersson|first9=Anna|date=2013|title=The genomic landscape of hypodiploid acute lymphoblastic leukemia|url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23334668|journal=Nature Genetics|volume=45|issue=3|pages=242–252|doi=10.1038/ng.2532|issn=1546-1718|pmc=3919793|pmid=23334668}}</ref>.

In hypodiploid ALL, molecular mutations are equally as important as chromosome number, or as a result of chromosome number, molecular mutations have a driving effect.  Both LH and NH have common mutations involved in the disease process. In near haploid ALL (NH) ''RTK'' and ''RAS'' (71%) signaling were a hallmark<ref name=":2" />. In addition, lymphoid transcription factor gene ''IKZF3'' (13%, encoding AIOLOS) and deletions of histone cluster at 6p22 (19%) were also reported<ref name=":2" />. In low hypodiploid (LH) ALL mutations involved ''TP53'' (91.2%) and ''IKZF2'' (53%, encoding HELIOS, 2q34), and ''RB1'' genes (41%) loci<ref name=":2" />. Both NH and LH had activation of RAS signaling and P13K signaling pathways and sensitive to P13K inhibitors indicating these drugs may offer a new therapeutic option<ref name=":2" />. Inn this group, several studies have not only identified a high percentage of pediatric patients with ''TP53'' mutations, but close to half displayed germline mutations, suggesting that LH ALL is a manifestation of Li-Fraumeni syndrome in children.  Adults also showed a high incidence of ''TP53'' (91%) in low hypodiploid ALL mutations, but these mutations appear to be somatic in origin. In NH, mutations appear in genes involving receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) pathway, Ras signaling, ''IKZF3'' (17q21.1), and histone clusters, but rarely ''IZFK2'', ''RB1'', or ''TP53''<ref name=":2" />.
 
Copy number alterations and sequence mutations have been reported in ''FLT3'', ''NF1'', ''KRAS'', ''NRAS'', ''PTPN11'', ''RTK'', ''RAS'', ''IKZF1'', ''IKZF2'', ''IKZF3'', ''TP53'', ''RB1'', Histone, 6q22, ''CDKN2A'', ''CDKN2B'', ''PAX5'', and ''PAG1'' gene loci<ref name=":2" />.
 
The most significant observation by Holmfeldt et al.,<ref name=":2" /> is that a global difference in the gene expression profiles distinguishes subgroups of hypodiploid ALL. More than 600 genes had subtype specific enrichment on gene set enrichment analysis<ref name=":2" />. In addition, RAS pathway, ''RB1'' and ''TP53'' mutations mimic solid tumor pathways<ref name=":2" />.

Haematolymphoid Tumours (WHO Classification, 5th ed.)

editContent Update To WHO 5th Edition Classification Is In Process; Content Below is Based on WHO 4th Edition Classification
This page was converted to the new template on 2023-12-07. The original page can be found at HAEM4:B-Lymphoblastic Leukemia/Lymphoma with Hypodiploidy.

(General Instructions – The focus of these pages is the clinically significant genetic alterations in each disease type. This is based on up-to-date knowledge from multiple resources such as PubMed and the WHO classification books. The CCGA is meant to be a supplemental resource to the WHO classification books; the CCGA captures in a continually updated wiki-stye manner the current genetics/genomics knowledge of each disease, which evolves more rapidly than books can be revised and published. If the same disease is described in multiple WHO classification books, the genetics-related information for that disease will be consolidated into a single main page that has this template (other pages would only contain a link to this main page). Use HUGO-approved gene names and symbols (italicized when appropriate), HGVS-based nomenclature for variants, as well as generic names of drugs and testing platforms or assays if applicable. Please complete tables whenever possible and do not delete them (add N/A if not applicable in the table and delete the examples); to add (or move) a row or column in a table, click nearby within the table and select the > symbol that appears. Please do not delete or alter the section headings. The use of bullet points alongside short blocks of text rather than only large paragraphs is encouraged. Additional instructions below in italicized blue text should not be included in the final page content.

Presence of monosomy 7 (or 7q deletion) is sufficient for a diagnosis of AML with MDS-related changes when there is ≥20% blasts and no prior therapy (add reference).  Monosomy 7/7q deletion is associated with a poor prognosis in AML (add references).


Characteristic Chromosomal or Other Global Mutational Patterns

This entity is defined by the presence of neoplastic lymphoblasts containing less than 46 chromosomes, and can be subdivided into near-haploid B-ALL/LBL with hypodiploidy (24–31 chromosomes); low-hypodiploid B-ALL/LBL with hypodiploidy (32–39 chromosomes); and high-hypodiploid B-ALL/LBL with hypodiploidy (40–43 chromosomes)[1][2]. Of note, near-diploid cases (44–45 chromosomes) are not included in the hypodiploid category in clinical therapy–directed classification schemes because they do not share the poor prognosis observed[3]. In a study, for patients with 44 chromosomes, monosomy 7, the presence of a dicentric chromosome, or both predicted a worse event-free survival (EFS) but similar overall survival (OS)[4].

Chromosomal Pattern Molecular Pathogenesis Prevalence -

Common >20%, Recurrent 5-20% or Rare <5% (Disease)

Diagnostic, Prognostic, and Therapeutic Significance - D, P, T Established Clinical Significance Per Guidelines - Yes or No (Source) Clinical Relevance Details/Other Notes
Near-haploid B-ALL/LBL with hypodiploidy (24–31 chromosomes) Near haploidy may be the primary event with loss of chromosomes, followed by a secondary event of doubling of chromosomes indicating uniparental isodisomy (UPID), microdeletions if any may occur after the secondary event[5]. The chromosomal loss alone may be enough for leukemogenesis and the unconserved random chromosomes may contain specific genes that increase the oncogenic potential of leukemic cells[6][7]. Rare (0.5%)[8] D: Needs demonstration of hypodiploidy (≤ 43 chromosomes) by karyotyping and/or FISH analysis; flow cytometry DNA index analysis and/or single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array analysis to identify masked hypodiploidy.

P: Associated with poor prognosis[4][9]. 5-year EFS 25–40%[8].

No (NCCN) It has been observed in the pediatric population with virtually no adult cases reported. Nonrandom retention of the X chromosome plus chromosomes 8, 14, 18, and 21 are frequently observed. The most common targets of aneuploidy are chromosomes 1–7, 9, 11–13, 15–17, 19–20 and 22[10][11][12][13][14].

Near-haploid and low-hypodiploid B-ALL/LBL may undergo doubling, resulting in a pseudohyperdiploid or near-triploid clone containing up to 78 chromosomes, and can present as a diagnostic challenge. If the original hypodiploid clone is not present, the hypodiploidy is regarded as masked, and the case may be mistaken for high-hyperdiploid B-ALL/LBL, resulting in an inappropriate prognostication[9][15][16]. The two subtypes may be differentiated by SNP array analysis, demonstrating copy-neutral loss of heterozygosity for doubled monosomic chromosomes. The DNA index assessed by flow cytometry may also be helpful if distinct peaks representing the hypodiploid and doubled clones are both detectable[17].

Low-hypodiploid B-ALL/LBL with hypodiploidy (32–39 chromosomes) More than 90% of low-hypodiploid patients have been identified with TP53 mutations, which occur in virtually all low-hypodiploid B-ALL cases due to the very recurrent loss of chromosome 17[13][18][19]. p53 is one of the most prominent tumor suppressors. Its activation as a transcription factor stimulates downstream pathways leading to protective cellular processes, including cell-cycle arrest, apoptosis, and senescence, to prevent the propagation of genetically altered cells[20]. Rare in children, recurrent in adolescents, young adults, and adults P: Associated with poor prognosis. EFS 30–50%[8][9]. No (NCCN) Low-hypodiploid B-ALL/LBL is rare in children (< 1%); however, the frequency increases with age, accounting for 5% of B-ALL/LBL cases in adolescents and young adults, and > 10% of cases in adults. Nonrandom retention of two copies of chromosomes from the following: the sex chromosomes plus chromosomes 1,6, 8, 10, 14, 18, and19. Chromosome 21 is almost always retained in two copies.

The most common targets of aneuploidy are chromosomes 2–4, 7, 9, 12–13, 15–17 and 20[14].

High-hypodiploid B-ALL/LBL with hypodiploidy (40–43 chromosomes) Genetic alterations involve CDKN2A and TP53[18]. Rare, occurring in approximately 4% of diagnosed cases of hypodiploidy in both children and adults, but with a predominance of the younger group[12][21]. P: Associated with poor prognosis. EFS 75%[3]. No (NCCN) Chromosome abnormalities include whole chromosome loss, specifically one sex chromosome and often chromosomes 7, 9, and/or 13. Also detected are structural anomalies especially dicentric chromosomes involving chromosomes 7, 9 or 12.

Gene Mutations (SNV/INDEL)

Holmfeldt et al sequenced 124 cases of low-hypodiploid B-ALL and showed that more than two-thirds (70.6%) of near-haploid ALL cases harbored genetic alterations known or predicted to result in activation of RTK or Ras signaling, including deletion, amplification and/or sequence mutation of NF1, NRAS, KRAS, MAPK1, FLT3 or PTPN11[10].

TP53
The majority are missense mutations located in exon 7, exon 8, exon 6, and exon 5. Less frequent frameshift mutations in exon 4 and 7 have been described[13]. In general are predicted to be loss of function (LOF) mutations. Tumor supressor gene Common (>90%) No established significance No (NCCN) These alterations correlate with low-hypodiploid ALL (32–39 chromosomes) and poorer clinical outcomes[10]. Approximately 50% of children with low-hypodiploid B-ALL/LBL carry germline TP53 variants associated with Li–Fraumeni syndrome. Accordingly, genetic counseling is recommended for children with low-hypodiploid B-ALL carrying TP53 mutations, and their relatives[22]. In contrast to childhood cases, TP53 mutations in low-hypodiploid adult B-ALL are somatic, are not found in healthy hematopoietic cells, and not detectable in remission samples[10][13].

Epigenomic Alterations

In near haploid 19% of the cases had focal deletions of histone gene cluster at 6p22, however, non-hypodiploid ALL had 8%, lower frequency of these deletions[10]. Of the 25 next generation sequenced haploid cases 16 (64%) cases had twenty six histone modifier gene mutations and of the 15 low hypodiploid ALL cases 9 (60%) cases had 9 mutations; the most common mutation (32%) of the near haploid cases was transcriptional co-activator and histone acetyltransferase CREBBP[10].

Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods

Karyotype, flow cytometry DNA index, FISH, and SNP arrays are all useful in establishing the diagnosis[1]. When using FISH or karyotype, approximately 16% to 30% of the ALL cases yield no or inadequate cytogenetic results due to inadequate specimens and absent or few mitotic cells. Among those with a cytogenetic result, 15% to 25% have a normal karyotype[24]. High-resolution SNP array can detect IKZF1 deletions and other cryptic copy number aberrations as well as CN-LOH that are not detectable by chromosome analysis[25].

Familial Forms

In Low hypodiploid (LH), several studies have not only identified a high percentage of pediatric patients with TP53 mutations, but close to half displayed germline mutations, suggesting that LH ALL is a manifestation of Li-Fraumeni syndrome in children[10][19][22].

Adults also showed a high incidence of TP53 mutations, but these mutations appear to be somatic in origin. In NH, mutations of genes of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) pathway, Ras signaling, IKZF3 (17q21.1) and histone clusters, but mutations of IZFK2, RB1, or TP53 were rare.

Additional Information

Genetic abnormalities involving TP53, RB1 and IKZF2 are hallmarks of low hypodiploid ALL, where as near haploid ALL has RTK, RAS and IKZF3 alterations[10].
