High hyperdiploid acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children is related to a good,outcome. Because these patients may be stratified to a low-intensity treatment, we have investigated the sensitivity of flow cytometry (FCM), G-band karyotyping (GBK), and high-resolution comparative genomic hybridization (HR-CGH) in detecting high hyperdiploid leukemic clones. Twenty-six girls and 34 boys with acute lymphoblastic leukemia diagnosed in 1998 to 1999 were analyzed by FCM, GBK, and HR-CGH. The correlations between DNA indices obtained by FCM, GBK, and HR-CGH were significant (r(s) = 0.61 to 0.77; P < 0.001 for all comparisons). However, in 4 of 18 patients, high hyperdiploidy was overlooked by GBK or HR-CGH, and even when FCM was applied, 2 of 18 patients with high hyperdiploidy by GBK and/or HR-CGH were classified as nonhigh hyperdiploid. If high hyperdiploid subclones were included, FCM could detect all high hyperdiploid patients round by either GBK or HR-CGH, but would then in addition classify 15%, to 20%, of the remaining patients as high hyperdiploid. Thus, both GBK and HR-CGH overlook patients with high hyperdiploidy, and FCM only detects all high hyperdiploid patients if small high hyperdiploid clones are included. In addition, FCM detects patients with high hyperdigenomic hybridization (HR-CGH) is a sensitive fluorescence in situ hybridization-based whole genome screening for detection of chromosomal areas with copy number imbalances down to 3 Mbp (14),(15) if present in more than 20% to 30% of analyzed cells (Kirchhoff, data not published). Chromosome abnormalities of leukemic clones have previously been described by calculating DNA indices obtained by FCM and GBK. The aim of the present study was to explore the differences in DNA indices obtained by FCM, GBK, and HR-CGH.
