Popis: In this retrospective case-control study involving 424 pediatric patients diagnosed with Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), the investigation focused on analyzing the clinical characteristics and prognosis associated with the Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A/2B (CDKN2A/2B) gene. Treatment and evaluation followed the South China Children's Leukemia Group-ALL-2016 protocol (SCCLG-ALL-2016). Among the cohort, 92 patients (21.7%) exhibited CDKN2A/2B gene deletions, with 11.1% homozygous and 10.6% heterozygous deletions. Notably, ALL patients that do have CDKN2A/2B gene deletions tended to present at an older age (P = 0.001), demonstrate hepatosplenomegaly on palpation (P
