- DS-ALL, Down syndrome-related acute lymphoblastic leukemia; iAMP21, intrachromosomal amplification of chromosome 21; NA, not analyzed due to too few cases.
- aChi square test. Significant P values in bold type.
- bHypodiploidy was defined as <47 in DS and <46 in non-DS; pseudodiploidy as 47 in DS and 46 in non-DS; hyperdiploidy as 48–50 in DS and 47–50 in non-DS; and high hyperdiploidy as 51–67 chromosomes in both groups.
- cBased only on informative cases, i.e., on which targeted molecular genetic or FISH analyses of these rearrangements had been performed.
- dBased only on informative cases, i.e., on cases treated according to the ALL-2008 protocol and hence screened for iAMP21.
