Somatic genetic abnormalities are initiators and drivers of disease and have proven clinical utility atinitial diagnosis. However, the genetic landscape and its clinical utility at relapse is less wellunderstood and has not been studied comprehensively. We analysed cytogenetic data from 427children with relapsed B-cell precursor ALL treated on the international trial, ALLR3. Also wescreened 238 patients with a marrow relapse for selected copy number alterations (CNA) andmutations. Cytogenetic risk groups were predictive of outcome post-relapse and survival rates at 5years for patients with good, intermediate and high risk cytogenetics were 68%, 47% and 26%,p<0.001. TP53 alterations and NR3C1/BTG1 deletions were associated with a higher risk ofprogression: hazard ratio 2.36 (95% CI 1.51-3.70), p<0.001 and 2.15 (1.32-3.48), p=0.002. NRASmutations were associated with an increased risk of progression among standard risk patients withhigh hyperdiploidy: 3.17 (1.15-8.71), p=0.026. Patients classified clinically as standard and high riskhad distinct genetic profiles. The outcome of clinical standard risk patients with high riskcytogenetics was equivalent to clinical high risk patients. Screening patients at relapse for keygenetic abnormalities will enable the integration of genetic and clinical risk factors to improvepatient stratification and outcome.
