Pediatric B-ALL: A Cytogenomic Update

From the 2022 Joint Annual Meeting (recorded 6/28/2022)
Presented by Carlos A. Tirado, PhD, FACMGG

This presentation describes the genes and chromosomal abnormalities seen in pediatric B-cell acute lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-ALL). Case studies with different chromosomal abnormalities, which are crucial in the diagnosis and prognosis of pediatric B-ALL, will also be reviewed.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Recognize the main chromosomal abnormalities seen in Pediatric B-ALL.
  • Discuss the genes, gene fusions and rearrangements or amplifications of the genes involved in pediatric B-ALL.
  • Describe the main mechanisms of genes, chromosomal abnormalities and mutations seen in pediatric B-ALL.
