HAEM5:B-lymphoblastic leukaemia/lymphoma with BCR::ABL1-like features: Difference between revisions

B-lymphoblastic leukaemia/lymphoma with ''BCR::ABL1''-like features traditionally required diagnosis by gene expression (GEX) profiling<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":0" /> and was found to exhibit a GEX profile similar to Philadelphia chromosome-positive B-lymphoblastic leukaemia/lymphoma but lacking ''BCR::ABL1''.

Proper identification of this disease is important, as patients may respond to targeted therapies like tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs)<ref name=":9" />; however, as most reports feature only single cases and limited series, consensus on the diagnostic/prognostic/therapeutic significance of the various genomic alterations has not been reached and is in the process of being established.

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).

Herold et al. in 2017 reported a wide variety of molecular alterations in BCR-ABL1-like B-ALL, which was shown to have statistically significant associations with alterations of ''IKZF1'', ''CRLF2'', ''JAK2'', ''BTG1'', and high ''CRLF2'' expression<ref name=":5" />.

*Gene expression profile algorithms, incorporating prediction analysis or hierarchical clustering of microarrays, provide the definitive diagnosis of BCR-ABL1-like B-ALL.
