Abstract

The Philadelphia (Ph)-like Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is a recently described class of B-cell ALL, characterized by an expression pattern similar to the one observed in the t(9;22) positive subtype. ‘Ph-like’ leukemias are frequently resistant to standard chemotherapy and have a high probability of relapse; however, they were shown to respond to treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), since they are characterized by activated kinase signature. This study evaluated the utility of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) in detecting genetic abnormalities associated with Ph-like ALL.
