*

Tested by cytogenetics, FISH, reverse-transcribed polymerase chain reaction, or a combination thereof.

An abnormal karyotype was defined as one with a clonal chromosomal abnormality. In the absence of a clonal abnormality, cases with 20 or more analyzable metaphases were classified as having a normal karyotype whereas those with fewer than 20 cells were classified as having failed cytogenetics. All cases with a normal or abnormal karyotype were classified as having successful cytogenetics.

Includes 2 cases with t(1;14)(p32;q11).

§

Includes 2 cases with t(7;10)(q34-36;q24).

Includes 2 cases with t(7;11)(q34-36;p13).

Includes 2 cases with t(11;19)(q23;p13.3).

**

Types of deletion: biallelic (n = 13), monoallelic (n = 10), and both (n = 4).

††

Includes 2 cases with t(7;9)(q34;q34).

‡‡

Eleven of 16 patients with a FBXW7 mutation also had a NOTCH1 mutation.

§§

Five or more chromosomal abnormalities in the absence of an established subgroup.
