Resum
B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is characterized by an uncontrolled proliferation of blood cells in the bone marrow. A small fraction of B-ALL patients shows abnormally low chromosome numbers, defined as hypodiploidy, in leukemic cells. Hypodiploidy with less than 40 chromosomes is a rare genetic abnormality in B-ALL and is associated to an extremely poor outcome, with low survival rates both in pediatric and adult cases. In this review, we describe the main clinical and genetic features of hypodiploid B-ALL subtypes with less than 40 chromosomes, the current treatment protocols and their clinical outcomes. Additionally, we discuss the potential cellular mechanisms involved on the origin of hypodiploidy, as well as its leukemogenic impact. Studies aiming to decipher the biological mechanisms involved in hypodiploid subtypes of B-ALL with less than 40 chromosomes are crucial to improve the poor survival rates in these patients.
