Figures & Tables

Figure 1

Prevalence of ALL subtypes in the Slovenian pediatric B-ALL cohort.

Figure 2

Primary genetic alterations in patients with IKZF1 deletions.

Figure 3

The number of CNVs present in Slovenian B-ALL samples.

Figure 4

Frequency of copy number variations: (A) Gene deletions in the cohort. (B) Gene amplifications in the cohort. BTG1 = BTG anti-proliferation factor 1; CDKN2A/2B = cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2A/2B; CRLF2 = cytokine receptor-like factor 2; CSF2RA = colony-stimulating factor 2 receptor α subunit; EBF1 = early B-cell factor 1; ETV6 = ETS variant 6; IKZF1 = IKAROS family zinc finger 1; IL3RA = interleukin 3 receptor subunit α; JAK2 = Janus kinase 2; PAX5 = paired box 5; P2RY8 = purinergic receptor P2Y8; SHOX = short-stature homeobox gene; RB1 = RB transcriptional corepressor 1

Figure 5

(A) Event-free survival in patients with or without IKZF1 deletions (5-year event-free survival [EFS] 54.8% vs. 85.9%, p = 0.016). (B) Overall survival in patients with or without IKZF1 deletions (5-year overall survival [OS] 81.5% vs. 93.0%, p = 0.295).

Figure 6

(A) Event-free survival in patients without IKZF1 deletions, with IKZF1 deletions only, and those with the IKZF1plus profile (5-year EFS 85.9% vs. 75.0% vs. 50.8%, p = 0.049). (B) Overall survival in patients without IKZF1 deletions, with IKZF1 deletions only and those with the IKZF1plus profile (5-year OS 93.0% vs. 100% vs. 76.2%, p = 0.290).
