Chr, chromosome.

*

P value reflects age with grouping of <10 and ≥10 y. For age grouping of <10, 10-<15, and ≥15 y, P < .001.

DFS reported for 648 patients with final DFCI risk group and MRD subgroups.

Characteristics of patients with indeterminate/unknown end-induction MRD: 72% <10 y of age at diagnosis, 57% male, 89% with WBC at diagnosis <50 × 109/L.
