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].

Diagnostic, Prognostic, and Therapeutic Significance - D, P, T | Established Clinical Significance Per Guidelines - Yes or No (Source) | Clinical Relevance Details/Other Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Near-haploid (NH) (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: Hypodiploidy demonstrated by karyotyping and/or FISH; flow cytometry DNA index analysis and/or single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array analysis to identify masked hypodiploidy. | No (NCCN) | NH observed in pediatric population with virtually no adult cases reported.
Nonrandom retention of X chromosome plus chromosomes 8, 14, 18, and 21 frequently observed. 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 (LH) (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) | LH B-ALL/LBL is rare in children (< 1%); however, 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 (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].

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].
Genes and Main Pathways Involved
| Gene; Genetic Alteration | Pathway | Pathophysiologic Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| NF1, NRAS, KRAS, MAPK1, FLT3 or PTPN11; Activating mutations[10] | RTK or Ras signaling | Constitutive activation of mitogenic and anti-apoptotic pathways, driving uncontrolled cell proliferation, survival, and malignant transformation. |
| CDKN2A/B, TP53, RB1; Loss of function mutations[10] | Cell cycle and apoptosis | Propagation of genetically altered cells. |
| IKZF1, IKZF2, IKZF3, PAX5, EBF1, VPREB1[23] | B-cell development | Altered lymphoid development and differentiation. |
| PAG1[23] | BCR signaling | Altered regulatory function in proximal B cell–receptor signaling. |

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 Near Haploid (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].
