P values from χ2 tests: *P < .05; **P < .01.

Not all patients were successfully tested for all abnormalities.

Among a total of 5 low hypodiploid patients, 3 were tested for CNA and/or mutations, but all 5 were assessed for TP53 alterations (see ¶ footnote).

§

Only patients with a marrow relapse and with >20% blasts in the marrow at relapse were eligible for MLPA and mutation testing.

Among BCP‐ALL with a marrow relapse, 243 patients had successful cytogenetics, whereas 210 patients were successfully screened for mutations. The frequency of sequence mutations and deletions is <10%, so we used a denominator of comprising cases successfully tested for at least one of the abnormalities (n = 290).
