  • Defined as fewer than 45 or 46 chromosomes
  • 5% of B ALL
  • 1% in both children and adults
  • Most have 45 chromosomes, fewer chromosomes is rare
Prognostic factors
  • Poorer prognosis: near haploid and low hypodiploid groups compared to those with:
  • Poorest prognosis: near haploid 23 - 29 chromosomes which appear limited to childhood
  • Overall 50% survival at 8 years
Microscopic (histologic) description
  • No distinct morphology
