Karyotype, flow cytometry DNA index, FISH, and SNP arrays are all useful in establishing the diagnosis<ref name=":13" />. 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
