Objectives

Conflicting data have been published regarding the prognostic impact of the t(1;19)/TCF3-PBX1 translocation in childhood ALL. The objective of this study was to explore the correlation between the TCF3-PBX1 fusion gene and clinical outcome in Chinese children with newly diagnosed ALL.

Methods

In order to address this issue in our setting, we summarized and analyzed the data of 837 Chinese children with ALL diagnosed between 2010 and 2017. All the patients were treated with the National Protocol of Childhood Leukemia in China (NPCLC)-ALL-2008 protocol. Clinical characteristics and prognosis of pediatric ALL patients with or without TCF3-PBX1 rearrangement were analyzed and compared retrospectively.

Results

The TCF3-PBX1 fusion gene was identified in 48 (5.7%) of 837 children with ALL. Our results showed that TCF3-PBX1 positive patients had higher pretreatment white blood cell counts, higher PB blasts percentages and worse risk classification at diagnosis. No statistically significant differences in CR rates, response to prednisone and relapse rates were found between TCF3-PBX1-positive and -negative patients. The 5-year predicted EFS, RFS, and OS of the TCF3-PBX1 positive group compared with the control group were 86.2%±5.3% vs 85.4%±1.3% (P=0.657), 88.2%±5.1% vs 92.2%±1.0% (P=0.458) and 90.4%±4.6% vs 89.0%±1.1% (P=0.561), respectively. No differences were observed regarding clinical outcome between these two groups. When compared with standard risk, intermediate risk and high risk group patients, the long-term survival of TCF3/PBX1 positive group was approximately similar to that of the intermediate risk group under the same protocol in our single center.

Conclusion

In contrast to previous studies, childhood ALL patients with TCF3-PBX1 transcripts do not appear to show a better outcome than their negative counterparts. TCF3/PBX1 positive was a definitive intermediate risk factor with our NPCLC-ALL-2008 protocol.
