|Approximately 50% of children with low-hypodiploid B-ALL/LBL carry germline ''TP53'' variants associated with Li–Fraumeni syndrome, an autosomal dominant disorder caused by ''TP53'' mutations. These alterations correlate with low-hypodiploid ALL (32–39 chromosomes) and poorer clinical outcomes<ref name=":2" />.

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<ref name=":2" />.

 

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''<ref name=":2" />.

Karyotype, flow cytometry DNA index, FISH, and SNP arrays are all useful in establishing the diagnosis.

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<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":10" /><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Comeaux|first=Evan Q.|last2=Mullighan|first2=Charles G.|date=2017-03-01|title=TP53 Mutations in Hypodiploid Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28003275|journal=Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine|volume=7|issue=3|pages=a026286|doi=10.1101/cshperspect.a026286|issn=2157-1422|pmc=5334249|pmid=28003275}}</ref>.
