Clinical and Interpretive info
Normal or Abnormal with interpretation.
Aneuploidy of chromosomes 4 and 10 and t(12;21) ETV6/RUNX1 rearrangements are classified as favorable cytogenetics prognostic indicators in B-ALL.
BCR/ABL1 and MLL rearrangements and intrachromosomal amplification of chromosome 21 (iAMP21) are unfavorable cytogenetics prognostic indicators in B-ALL.
