Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have drastically improved the outcomes of pCML (paediatric CML) but data on long-term off-target toxicities of TKIs in children are scarce. In this single-centre, retrospective cum prospective study of pCML in chronic phase, we report our experience of treating 173 children with imatinib and following them for long-term toxicities. Mean (SD) time to attain CHR, CCyR and MMR were 3.05 (2.1), 10.6 (8.4) and 43.4 (31.8) months respectively. DMR was not attained in 59 (34%) patients at last follow-up. Ten patients were switched to second-generation TKIs (2G-TKIs; nilotinib = 1/dasatinib = 9) due to poor/loss in response, of which seven had kinase domain mutations. Three patients progressed to the blastic phase. At a median follow-up of 84 (3-261) months, the 5-year EFS and OS for the entire cohort were 96.9% (95% CI: 93.4-100) and 98.7% (95% CI: 96.9-100) respectively. Screening for long-term toxicities revealed low bone density and hypovitaminosis D in 70% and 80% respectively. Other late effects included short stature (27%), delayed puberty (15%), poor sperm quality (43%) and miscellaneous endocrinopathies (8%). Children younger than 5 years at diagnosis were more susceptible to growth and endocrine toxicities (p = 0.009). Regular monitoring for long-term toxicities, timely intervention and trial of discontinuation whenever feasible are likely to improve the long-term outlook of pCML.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pediatric core binding factor acute myeloid leukemia (CBF-AML), although considered a favorable risk subtype, exhibits variable outcomes primarily driven by additional genetic abnormalities, such as KIT mutations. PROCEDURE In this study, we examined the prognostic impact of KIT mutations in 130 pediatric patients with CBF-AML, treated uniformly at a single center over 4 years (2017-2021). KIT mutations were detected via next-generation sequencing using a myeloid panel comprising 52 genes for most patients. RESULTS Our findings revealed that KIT mutations were present in 31% of CBF-AML cases. Exon 17 KIT mutation was most commonly (72%) seen with notable occurrences at the D816 and N822 residue in 48% and 39% of cases, respectively. The 3-year cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) and overall survival (OS) for patients with exon 17 KIT mutation were 36% and 40%, respectively, and was significantly worse in comparison to other site KIT mutations (3-year CIR: 11%; OS: 64%) and without KIT mutation (3-year CIR: 13%; OS:71%). Notably, the prognostic impact of KIT mutations was prominent in patients with RUNX1::RUNX1T1, but not in those with CBFB::MYH11 fusion. Additionally, a high KIT variant-allele frequency (VAF) (>33%) predicted for a higher disease relapse; 3-year CIR of 40% for VAF greater than 33% versus 7% for VAF less than 33%. When adjusted for site of KIT mutation and end-of-induction measurable residual disease, VAF greater than 33% correlated with poor OS (hazard ratio [HR]: 4.4 [95% CI: 1.2-17.2], p = .034). CONCLUSION Exon 17 KIT mutations serve as an important predictor of relapse in RUNX1::RUNX1T1 pediatric AML. In addition, a high KIT VAF may predict poor outcomes in these patients. These results emphasize the need to incorporate KIT mutational analysis into risk stratification for pediatric CBF-AML.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We had previously reported significant association of immunoectoenzyme CD26 expression on donor harvest with acute Graft-versus-Host-Disease (aGVHD) in allogeneic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) patients. The current study was aimed at analysing CD26 signaling pathway molecules and understanding their impact on immune reconstitution and clinical outcomes post-ASCT. SUBJECTS AND METHODOLOGY The study cohort included 26 transplant donors/patients who underwent reduced intensity (n = 21), myeloablative (n = 4) and non-myeloablative (n = 1) ASCT for hematological malignancies. Donors were matched related donors (n = 19) and haploidentical donors (n = 7). Surface expression of CD26, CD73 and ADA, and various immune cell subtypes were assessed by multicolour-flow cytometry. Soluble CD26 (sCD26) and cytokine levels were measured in plasma samples by ELISA and Multiplex Luminex assay, respectively. Immune cells from healthy individuals were stimulated with phytohemagglutinin (PHA) in the presence or absence of CD26 inhibitor. Effect of CD26 inhibition on NF-κB localization in PHA stimulated cells was analysed by immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy. Pro-inflammatory cytokines from the culture supernatants were detected with Cytometric bead array flow cytometry. Association of all measured markers with clinical outcomes was evaluated using appropriate statistical tests. RESULTS CD26 surface expression on PBSC donor harvest cells showed increased risk of chronic GVHD (cGVHD, p = 0.055). Amongst the various immune cell subtypes, decreased B cells in harvest showed significant association with aGVHD (p = 0.022) whereas increased myeloid dendritic cells and CD3+T cells at Day100 in peripheral blood of transplant recipients correlated with cGVHD (p = 0.046) and aGVHD (p = 0.035), respectively. Further, high sCD26 in transplant recipients at Day100 exhibited association with reduced event-free survival (EFS) (p = 0.011). Higher CD26 expression on more & less mature NK cells, naïve & post-switched memory B cells and Treg cells in the donor harvest (p < 0.05) led to lower EFS in transplant recipients. Mechanistically, CD26 inhibitor caused dose-dependent reduction in CD26 enzyme activity and in pro-inflammatory cytokine production in post mitogen-stimulated T cell cultures. CONCLUSION Our study has implicated that lower CD26 expression on immune cell subtypes of the donor stem cell harvest is associated with reduced risk of GVHD and better survival. The underlying mechanism was found to be through NF-κB pathway and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Based on these observations, chemically designed or natural resources-based CD26 inhibitors can be explored further in clinical trials for improving ASCT outcomes.

Abstract
The outlook of relapsed ALL in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is dismal due to high treatment-related toxicities and inadequate resources. We report our experience of using a locally adapted mitoxantrone-based protocol for non-high risk (HR) relapsed B-ALL (rALL). A retrospective cum prospective study of standard and intermediate risk (SR and IR) rALL patients treated on TMH rALL-18 protocol (adapted from COG/UKALLR3/Int-Re-ALL protocols) between November 2018 and January 2021 was analyzed. The protocol comprising of 7 blocks of multi-agent chemotherapy including mitoxantrone in induction followed by local irradiation and maintenance, underwent serial modifications based on our experience with initial patients. Eighty-two patients (SR rALL, 3; IR rALL, 79) were treated on TMH rALL-18 protocol. Of 321 grade 3/4 reported toxicities, around 43% (138 toxicities) were noted during induction. Induction chemotherapy was outpatient-based; however, 68 patients (82.9%) required supportive care admissions. Twelve out of 19 patients with gram negative bacilli sepsis (included 7 MDRO) died during reinduction. Five remission deaths were seen during block 3 after which cytarabine was dose reduced (3 g to 2 g/m2). Post-reinduction minimal residual disease was negative in 54 (80.6%) out of 67 evaluable patients. At a median follow-up of 24 months (95% CI 22-27), the estimated 2-year event-free and overall survival of the entire cohort was 58% (95% CI 48.1-69.9) and 60.3% (95% CI 50.5-72). Until the time, targeted therapies are freely accessible in LMICs, strengthening supportive care as well as local adaptation of protocols that strike a fine balance between efficacy and tolerability are mandated.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The emergence of resistance to the highly successful BCL2-directed therapy is a major unmet need in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), an aggressive malignancy with poor survival rates. Towards identifying therapeutic options for AML patients who progress on BCL2-directed therapy, we studied a clinical-stage CDK7 inhibitor XL102, which is being evaluated in solid tumors (NCT04726332). MATERIALS AND METHODS To determine the anti-proliferative effects of XL102, we performed experiments including time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer, target occupancy, cell cycle and apoptosis-based assays. We also included genetically characterized primary myeloid blasts from de novo and relapsed/refractory AML patients. For mechanistic studies, CRISPR/Cas9 mediated knockout of CDK7 and c-Myc and immunoblotting were performed. NOD/SCID orthotropic and subcutaneous AML xenografts were used to determine anti-leukemic effects. To assess the synergistic effects of XL102 with Venetoclax, we performed RNA sequencing and gene set enrichment analysis using Venetoclax sensitive and resistant model systems. RESULTS XL102, a highly specific, orally bioavailable covalent inhibitor of CDK7. Inhibitory effect on CDK7 by XL102 in primary myeloid blasts (n = 54) was in nanomolar range (mean = 300 nM; range = 4.0-952 nM). XL102 treated AML cells showed a reduction in phosphorylation levels of Serine 2/5/7 at carboxy-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II. T-loop phosphorylation of CDK1(Thr161) and CDK2(Thr160) was inhibited by XL102 in dose-dependent manner leading to cell-cycle arrest. c-Myc downregulation and enhanced levels of p53 and p21 in XL102 treated cells were observed. Increased levels of p21 and activation of p53 by XL102 were mimicked by genetic ablation of CDK7, which supports that the observed effects of XL102 are due to CDK7 inhibition. XL102 treated AML xenografts showed remarkable reduction in hCD45 + marrow cells (mean = 0.60%; range = 0.04%-3.53%) compared to vehicle control (mean = 38.2%; range = 10.1%-78%), with corresponding increase in p53, p21 and decrease in c-Myc levels. The data suggests XL102 induces apoptosis in AML cells via CDK7/c-Myc/p53 axis. RNA-sequencing from paired Venetoclax-sensitive and Venetoclax-resistant cells treated with XL102 showed downregulation of genes involved in proliferation and apoptosis. CONCLUSION Taken together, XL102 with Venetoclax led to synergistic effects in overcoming resistance and provided a strong rationale for clinical evaluation of XL102 as a single agent and in combination with Venetoclax.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Outcomes of childhood acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) have exceeded 90% in the era of differentiating agents. In resource-limited settings, early mortality secondary to coagulopathy remains a significant challenge. Differentiation syndrome is a unique complication of APL therapy that requires a high degree of suspicion for timely initiation of therapy. METHODS A retrospective study of children ≤15 y of age with APL diagnosed between January-2013 and June-2019 treated at a tertiary cancer centre was conducted. Patients with a total leukocyte count ≥10,000/µL were risk stratified as high-risk. Treatment included differentiating agents, all-trans retinoic acid and arsenic trioxide along with chemotherapy. Baseline demographics, clinical complications and outcomes were analysed. RESULTS Out of 90 patients treated, 48 (53%) had high-risk APL and 25 (28%) presented with significant bleeding manifestations. Response to therapy was excellent with 96% of evaluable patients achieving molecular remission by the end of consolidation phase. Differentiation syndrome occurred in 23 (25%) patients of which two expired. Early mortality rate was 5.5% and was due to severe hemorrhage most often at the time of presentation. The 3-y overall survival of the entire cohort was 91% (95% CI: 85-97%). Two of 4 patients with relapse of disease could be salvaged with only differentiating agents followed by autologous transplantation. CONCLUSIONS Long-term outcomes of Indian children with APL are excellent. Timely management of coagulopathy and prompt initiation of differentiating agents along with appropriate cytoreductive measures is critical. Efforts to build academic-community partnerships to ensure timely diagnosis and emergency care in order to reduce early mortality are needed.

Abstract
Primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma with the worst outcomes amongst all extranodal lymphomas. There is a scarcity of data on real-world outcomes of primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) owing to the rarity of the disease. This study analyzed the demographic patterns, risk stratification, treatment regimens used, & outcomes of patients treated at Tata Memorial Center Mumbai, India. This is a retrospective analysis of newly diagnosed primary CNS lymphoma patients treated at our centre over seven years from January 2013 to December 2019. A total of 142 patients with PCNSL were diagnosed during this period. Thirty (21.1%) patients were deemed ineligible for any systemic or local therapies,ten patients were referred to other hospitals, two patients had relapsed disease, and one was excluded because age less than 18 years. Finally 99 patients were included in the final analysis. Among these 99 patients,72 patients (72.7%) were < 60 years,70 (70.7%) patients had Eastern cooperative oncology group (ECOG) performance status (PS) less than equal to 2. DLBCL was the most common histology (86.4%) while rests were high grade B cell NHL NOS (11.4%),Burkitt's Lymphoma(1%),Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma NOS (1.2%). Only one of 99 patients was positive for HIV serology. Multiple intracranial lesions were found in 59.5%. Surgical resection was performed in 28.4% of patients. Out of 63 patients in whom the International extranodal lymphoma study group (IELSG) score is available, 34(54%) were IELSG high-risk groups. As per Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) risk grouping, patients were almost equally distributed in all the risk groups, with 32(32.3%) patients in risk group 1 (age < 50 years), 36(36.4%) patients in risk group 2 (age > 50 years, KPS > = 70), and 31(31.3%) patients in risk group 3 age > 50 years, KPS < 70). First-line treatment with high dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) based regimens was administered to 92 (92.9%) patients, and 72.8% of these patients received rituximab. Of these 92 patients, 59 (64.1%) patients could complete induction, and 52 patients received consolidation. Thirty-one patients received high dose cytarabine based chemo consolidation, one patient underwent high dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ACST), and 19 patients received whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) and 1 patient received temozolomide as consolidation regimen. Thus only 52 patients completed the entire course of induction with consolidation therapy. The response to treatment was assessed using International PCNSL Collaborative Group Criteria. Post completion of consolidation, 49(94.2%) patients had a complete response. With a median follow-up duration of 39.2 months, the median progression-free survival (PFS) and the median overall survival (OS) of the patients taken into the analysis (N = 99) were 21 and 37 months respectively. On multivariate analysis, age < 60 yrs, > = 5 HD-MTX cycles received & the use of rituximab predicted better OS.Outcomes of patients with PCNSL treated with HD-MTX based therapy are comparable to reported literature however a large proportion of patients do not undergo required treatment despite the curable nature of disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple myeloma (MM) measurable residual disease (MRD) evaluated by flow cytometry is a surrogate for progression-free and overall survival in clinical trials. However, analysis and reporting between centers lack uniformity. We designed and evaluated a consensus protocol for MM MRD analysis to reduce inter-laboratory variation in MM MRD reporting. METHODS Seventeen participants from 13 countries performed blinded analysis of the same eight de-identified flow cytometry files from patients with/without MRD using their own method (Stage 1). A consensus gating protocol was then designed following survey and discussions, and the data re-analyzed for MRD and other bone marrow cells (Stage 2). Inter-laboratory variation using the consensus strategy was reassessed for another 10 cases and compared with earlier results (Stage 3). RESULTS In Stage 1, participants agreed on MRD+/MRD- status 89% and 68% of the time respectively. Inter-observer variation was high for total numbers of analyzed cells, total and normal plasma cells (PCs), limit of detection, lower limit of quantification, and enumeration of cell populations that determine sample adequacy. The identification of abnormal PCs remained relatively consistent. By consensus method, average agreement on MRD- status improved to 74%. Better consistency enumerating all parameters among operators resulted in near-unanimous agreement on sample adequacy. CONCLUSION Uniform flow cytometry data analysis substantially reduced inter-laboratory variation in reporting multiple components of the MM MRD assay. Adoption of a harmonized approach would meet an important need for conformity in reporting MM MRD for clinical trials, and wider acceptance of MM MRD as a surrogate clinical endpoint.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This manuscript describes the genetic features of SARS-CoV-2 mutations, prevalent phylogenetic lineages, and the disease severity amongst COVID-19-vaccinated individuals in a tertiary cancer hospital during the second wave of the pandemic in Mumbai, India. METHODS This observational study included 159 COVID-19 patients during the second wave of the pandemic from 17th March to 1st June 2021 at a tertiary cancer care centre in Mumbai. The cohort comprised of healthcare workers, staff relatives, cancer patients, and patient relatives. For comparison, 700 SARS-CoV-2 genomes sequenced during the first wave (23rd April to 25th September 2020) at the same centre were also analysed. Patients were assigned to nonvaccinated (no vaccination or <14 days from the 1st dose, n = 92), dose 1(≥14 days from the 1st dose to <14 days from the 2nd dose, n = 29), and dose 2 (≥14 days from the 2nd dose, n = 38) groups. Primary measure was the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 genomic lineages among different groups. In addition, severity of COVID-19 was assessed according to clinical and genomic variables. RESULTS Kappa B.1.1671.1 and delta B.1.617.2 variants contributed to an overwhelming majority of sequenced genomes (unvaccinated: 40/92, 43.5% kappa, 46/92, 50% delta; dose 1: 14/29, 48.3% kappa, 15/29, 51.7% delta; and dose 2: 23/38, 60.5% kappa, 14/38 36.8% delta). The proportion of the kappa and delta variants did not differ significantly across the unvaccinated, dose 1, and dose 2 groups (p = 0.27). There was no occurrence of severe COVID-19 in the dose 2 group (0/38, 0% vs. 14/121, 11.6%; p = 0.02). SARS-CoV-2 genomes from all three severe COVID-19 patients in the vaccinated group belonged to the delta lineage (3/28, 10.7% vs. 0/39, 0.0%, p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS Sequencing analysis of SARS-COV-2 genomes from Mumbai during the second wave of COVID-19 suggests the prevalence of the kappa B.1.617.1 and the delta B.1.627.2 variants among both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. Continued evaluation of genomic sequencing data from breakthrough COVID-19 is necessary for monitoring the properties of evolving variants of concern and formulating appropriate immune response boosting and therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is paucity of data regarding clinical characteristics, laboratory parameters and outcomes of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in cancer versus non-cancer patients, particularly from India. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was an observational, single-centre, retrospective analysis of patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 hospitalised in our institution between 22 May 2020 and 1 December 2020. We compared baseline clinical characteristics, laboratory parameters and outcomes of COVID-19 (overall mortality, time to discharge) between cancer and non-cancer patients. RESULTS A total of 200 COVID-19 infection episodes were analysed of which 109 (54.5%) were patients with cancer and 91 (45.5%) were patients without cancer. The median age was 43 (interquartile range [IQR]:32-57), 51 (IQR: 33-62) and 38 (IQR: 31.5-49.3) years; of whole cohort, cancer and non-cancer patients, respectively. Comparison of outcomes showed that oxygen requirement (31.2% [95% CI: 22.6-40.7] vs. 17.6% [95% CI: 10.4-26.9]; p = 0.03), median time to discharge (11 days [IQR: 6.75-16] vs. 6 days [IQR: 3-9.75]; p < 0.001) and mortality (10.0% [95% CI: 5.2-17.3] vs. 1.1% [95% CI: 0.03-5.9]; p = 0.017) were significantly higher in patients with cancer. In univariable analysis, factors associated with higher mortality in the whole cohort included diagnosis of cancer (10.1% vs. 1.1%; p = 0.027; odds ratio [OR]: 7.04), age ≥60 (17.4% vs. 2.6%; p = 0.001; OR: 7.38), oxygen requirement (22% vs. 0.6%; p < 0.001; OR: 29.01), chest infiltrates (19.2% vs. 1.4%; p < 0.001; OR: 22.65), baseline absolute lymphocyte count <1 × 109 /L (10.8% vs. 1.9%; p = 0.023; OR:5.1), C-reactive protein >1 mg% (12.8% vs. 0%; p = 0.027; OR: 24.69), serum procalcitonin >0.05 ng/ml (22.65% vs. 0%; p = 0.004; OR: 4.49) and interleukin-6 >6 pg/ml (10.8% vs. 1.3%; p = 0.036; OR: 3.08). In multivariable logistic regression, factors significantly associated with mortality were oxygen requirement (p = 0.005; OR: 13.11) and high baseline procalcitonin level (p = 0.014; OR: 37.6). CONCLUSION Cancer patients with COVID-19 have higher mortality and require longer hospital stay. High procalcitonin levels and oxygen requirement during admission are other factors that affect outcomes adversely.

Abstract
The prognosis of patients with relapsed Early Thymic Precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ETP-ALL) remains poor. Unlike B cell Precursor-ALL (BCP-ALL), there are no approved targeted therapies for ETP-ALL. Recent studies have identified a consistent expression of CD38 on the blasts of patients with T-ALL (both ETP-ALL and non ETP-ALL). Pre-clinical studies indicate that CD38 expression persists on the blasts of T-ALL even after receipt of conventional chemotherapy. These findings make CD38 an attractive targetable surface protein for patients with relapsed refractory T-ALL. We were the first to describe the clinical use of daratumumab in a patient of ETP-ALL, with relapsed disease post allogeneic transplant. We describe here the long term outcome of this patient more than 3 years after starting single agent daratumumab.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) is a rare childhood neoplasm (<5% cases), which has been categorized under myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN) in the recent classification by the World Health Organization. METHODS We developed a 51-gene (151.5kB) low-cost targeted myeloid panel based on single-molecule molecular inversion probes to comprehensively evaluate the genomic profile of Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML). RESULTS A total of 50 children with clinical and pathological features of JMML were sequenced at high coverage. Among the 50 patients, 44(88%) harbored mutations in one of the RAS/MAPK-pathway genes, most frequently in NRAS (32%), followed by PTPN11 (28%) and NF1 (22%). One-fifth of children had more than one mutation, with 5 cases harboring two RAS pathway mutations. Monosomy 7 was detected in 32% (16) patients, and five of these did not harbor any RAS pathway mutations. Children with monosomy 7 showed shorter overall survival compared with their wild-type counterparts (P = .02). CONCLUSION Our study highlights that comprehensive genomic profiling identifies at least one mutation in almost 90% of JMML patients. Performing genomic analysis at baseline might help in triaging children with JMML for allogenic stem cell transplant in resource-constrained settings.

Abstract
PURPOSE Infections remain a major challenge in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Induction-related mortality reported in the literature is approximately < 5% in clinical trials. However, the real-world scenario is different, especially in developing countries, given the high incidence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms, high incidence of fungal pneumonia at baseline, and significant delay before initiation of chemotherapy. We aimed to look at contemporary infections and infection-related mortality and analyze the patterns of infections. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study was conducted at a large tertiary care oncology center in India. Patients with newly diagnosed AML who were older than age 15 years, considered fit for intensive therapy, and treated in the general wards of the adult hematolymphoid unit from March 1, 2014, until December 31, 2015, were included. RESULTS One hundred twenty-one patients were treated during the study period. The most common presenting complaint was fever (85%). The focus of infection at presentation was found in 63% of patients, with respiratory infection being the most common (47%). MDR organisms were isolated in 55% of patients during induction from various foci. Klebsiella pneumoniae was the most common blood culture isolate (42.9%). Fungal pneumonia was diagnosed in 55% of patients during induction despite antifungal prophylaxis. Treatment-related mortality was 10.7% in all phases, with an induction mortality rate of 7.4%. Complete remission was attained in 69% of patients. Of all patients who received induction chemotherapy, 74% completed all three consolidation cycles. The 121 patients were followed up for a median period of 53 months. Four-year event-free survival was 35.8%, and 4-year overall survival was 41.5%. CONCLUSION Infections and infection-related mortality are major challenges during AML induction. Gram-negative MDR and fungal infections are particularly common in our region.

Abstract
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease with respect to morphology, immunophenotype, chromosomal abnormalities and genetic lesions. While a majority of AML cases harbour recurrent chromosomal abnormalities, several rare, apparently unique or novel aberrations may be identified by conventional cytogenetics. In fact, with the prognostic relevance of chromosomal abnormalities, and with the advent of new-age, target-specific therapy, identifying such aberrations becomes vital. In this study, we present a case of pediatric AML with ins(19;X)(q13.1;p11.2q28) and t(1;11)(q10;p10), both, novel, previously unreported chromosomal abnormalities in AML. Post induction, both these clonal cytogenetic abnormalities persisted. The documentation of this case will help determine the significance of these cytogenetic abnormalities. Also, this case exemplifies the importance of cytogenetics in the complete characterization and risk stratification of AML patients.

Abstract
Recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo‐HSCT) are an immunocompromised group who are likely to develop severe complications and mortality because of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). We report here a 61‐year‐old male patient of primary myelofibrosis who underwent an allo‐HSCT 6 years earlier, had chronic graft‐versus‐host disease (cGVHD) involving the liver, lung, eyes, and skin, (with recurrent episodes of pulmonary infections) who developed severe COVID‐19. The patient was treated with tocilizumab, and a combination of lopinavir/ritonavir, ribavirin, interferon‐β1b. He was discharged after 31 days with full recovery. Tocilizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody against IL6, has been shown to benefit respiratory manifestations in severe COVID19. However, this is first report, to our knowledge, of its use and benefit in a post HSCT recipient.

Abstract
We accrued 201 patients of adult AML treated with conventional therapy, in morphological remission, and evaluated MRD using sensitive error-corrected next generation sequencing (NGS-MRD) and multiparameter flow cytometry (FCM-MRD) at the end of induction (PI) and consolidation (PC). Nearly 71% of patients were PI NGS-MRD+ and 40.9% PC NGS-MRD+ (median VAF 0.76%). NGS-MRD+ patients had a significantly higher cumulative incidence of relapse (p = 0.003), inferior overall survival (p = 0.001) and relapse free survival (p < 0.001) as compared to NGS-MRD- patients. NGS-MRD was predictive of inferior outcome in intermediate cytogenetic risk and demonstrated potential in favorable cytogenetic risk AML. PI NGS-MRD- patients had a significantly improved survival as compared to patients who became NGS-MRD- subsequently indicating that kinetics of NGS-MRD clearance was of paramount importance. NGS-MRD identified over 80% of cases identified by flow cytometry at PI time point whereas FCM identified 49.3% identified by NGS. Only a fraction of cases were NGS-MRD- but FCM-MRD+. NGS-MRD provided additional information of the risk of relapse when compared to FCM-MRD. We demonstrate a widely applicable, scalable NGS-MRD approach that is clinically informative and synergistic to FCM-MRD in AML treated with conventional therapies. Maximum clinical utility may be leveraged by combining FCM and NGS-MRD modalities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inconclusive knowledge persists regarding the course of chronic myeloid leukemia-chronic phase (CML-CP) patients with detectable abnormal blasts by flow-cytometry at diagnosis. The 2016 WHO classification is not specific regarding sub-classification of CML with <10% abnormal B-lymphoid blasts (ABLB), and suggests these patients often show rapid progression. We report the clinical course of pediatric CML-CP patients who had detectable abnormal blasts by flow-cytometry at baseline. METHODS Retrospective audit of all pediatric CML patients between January 2013 and December 2017 were included. Their clinical presentation, demographic profile, and treatment outcomes were extracted from electronic medical records. Some of these patients got flow-cytometry done by default, though it was not a routine part of diagnostic CML marrow studies. RESULTS Amongst 65 pediatric CML patients, flow-cytometry at initial diagnosis was available in 15 (CP-12; AP-3). Of the 12 CML-CP patients, 10 (83%) had abnormal flow-cytometric findings-5 (50%) with mixed lineage blasts (4-B/Myeloid, 1-B/T/Myeloid), and myeloid lineage blasts in the remaining 5 (50%). At a median follow-up of 26 months (range: 9-34 months), 3/5 patients with ABLB at diagnosis progressed to frank blast crisis (2 B-cell; 1 Mixed lineage). None among the five patients with diagnostic myeloid-alone aberrant blasts progressed to blast crisis. Imatinib resistant mutation was also found in 3/5 (60%) CML-CP patients with these ABLB at baseline. CONCLUSIONS Although a retrospective study with limited sample size, presence of ABLB detected on flow-cytometry in CML-CP patients, had a noticeable early conversion to CML-BC in our cohort. Incorporation of flow-cytometry in diagnostic work-up can provide useful insight regarding the behavior of pediatric CML-CP patients and guide therapy.

Abstract
The high expression of brain and acute leukemia, cytoplasmic (BAALC) and ETS-related gene (ERG) has been reported to influence the outcome in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but due to limited prospective studies, their role as prognostic factors is unclear. At diagnosis, the prognostic value of BAALC and ERG expression with respect to other cytogenetic and molecular markers was analyzed in 149 AML patients. Patients were divided into quartiles which resulted in the formation of four groups (G1-G4) based on expression values of BAALC and ERG and clinical response defined across groups. Groups with similar survival probabilities were merged together and categorized subsequently as high versus low expressers. Patients with high BAALC and ERG expression had significantly lower overall survival (OS; BAALC: p = 0.001 at 5 years 29.4% vs. 69.8%; ERG: p < 0.0001 at 5 years 4% vs. 50.4%) and disease-free survival (BAALC: p = 0.001 at 5 years 19.5% vs. 69.8%; ERG: p < 0.0001 at 5 years 4.2% vs. 47%). Patients were further stratified combining BAALC and ERG expression in an integrative prognostic risk score (IPRS). After a median follow-up of 54 months (95% CI 45-63 months) among survivors, IPRS for high versus low expressers was a significant predictor for OS (BAALC + ERG: 4% vs. 71.6%, p < 0.0001) and DFS (BAALC + ERG: 4.5% vs. 74.1%, p < 0.0001). In a multivariate model, IPRS of BAALC + ERG expression retained prognostic significance for OS (hazard ratio [HR] 2.96, 95%CI 1.91-4.59, p < 0.001) and DFS (HR 3.61, 95%CI 2.26-5.76, p < 0.001).

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) mobilization regimens in multiple myeloma typically use filgrastim (GCSF) alone or combination of GCSF with plerixafor or high-dose cyclophosphamide. Murine model and human studies have shown HSPC mobilization potential of bortezomib. A total of 37 patients underwent mobilization using bortezomib 1.3 mg/m2 on day 1, 4, 8 and 11, cyclophosphamide 1 g/m2 on day 8 and 9, and GCSF 10 μg/kg from day 10 (B-Cy-GCSF). This regimen was compared with our earlier cohort of patients where cyclophosphamide was given at dose of 1 g/m2 on day 1 and day 2 followed by GCSF 10 μg/kg from day 4 (Cy-GCSF). In B-Cy-GCSF group, median CD34 cells collected were 9.21 × 106/kg (range 4.95-17.1) while in the Cy-GCSF cohort, the median CD34 cell yield was 8.2 × 106/kg (0.4-24.2). Target CD34 cells yield of 5 × 106/kg was achieved with single apheresis in 58.6% of patients after B-Cy-GCSF mobilization as compared to 44.3% in Cy-GCSF group (p = 0.07). Three patients failed mobilization after Cy-GCSF, while no patients failed mobilization in bortezomib group. Addition of bortezomib to Cy-GCSF mobilization showed a trend towards increased CD34 collection and reduced need for apheresis sessions.

Abstract
Panel based next generation sequencing was performed on a discovery cohort of AML with RUNX1-RUNX1T1. Supervised machine learning identified NRAS mutation and absence of mutations in ASXL2, RAD21, KIT and FLT3 genes as well as a low mutation to be associated with favorable outcome. Based on this data patients were classified into favorable and poor genetic risk classes. Patients classified as poor genetic risk had a significantly lower overall survival (OS) and relapse free survival (RFS). We could validate these findings independently on a validation cohort (n=61). Patients in the poor genetic risk group were more likely to harbor measurable residual disease. Poor genetic risk emerged as an independent risk factor predictive of inferior outcome. Using an unbiased computational approach based we provide evidence for gene panel-based testing in AML with RUNX1-RUNX1T1 and a framework for integration of genomic markers toward clinical decision making in this heterogeneous disease entity.

Abstract
Ploidy, besides known translocations in lymphoblasts, is a strong predictor of prognosis in B- cell progenitor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL). While hyperdiploidy with >50 chromosomes shows a favourable outcome, hypodiploidy with <45 chromosomes have a dismal clinical outcome. However, there exists a small subset where both the hypodiploid and hyperdiploid clones are apparent either by cytogenetics or flow cytometry and are defined partially masked hypodiploids or mosaics based on the percentage of clonal population. These patients are essentially hypodiploids, and show the hyperdiploid clone as a consequence of endoreduplication of the primary hypodiploid clone- A phenomenon of successive replication of genome without mitosis (cytokinesis) resulting in increased ploidy. In the current study, we present the complete clinical, hematological and cytogenetic profile of 11 such newly diagnosed mosaics or partially masked hypodiploid BCP-ALL cases.

Abstract
Immune dysfunction is critical in pathogenesis of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Few studies have reported abnormal cytokine profile and dysregulated T-cell functions during the onset and progression of certain types of lymphoma. However, the presence of IL9-producing Th9 cells and their role in tumor cell metabolism and survival remain unexplored. With this clinical study, we performed multidimensional blood endotyping of CTCL patients before and after standard photo/chemotherapy and revealed distinct immune hallmarks of the disease. Importantly, there was a higher frequency of "skin homing" Th9 cells in CTCL patients with early (T1 and T2) and advanced-stage disease (T3 and T4). However, advanced-stage CTCL patients had severely impaired frequency of skin-homing Th1 and Th17 cells, indicating attenuated immunity. Treatment of CTCL patients with standard photo/chemotherapy decreased the skin-homing Th9 cells and increased the Th1 and Th17 cells. Interestingly, T cells of CTCL patients express IL9 receptor (IL9R), and there was negligible IL9R expression on T cells of healthy donors. Mechanistically, IL9/IL9R interaction on CD3+ T cells of CTCL patients and Jurkat cells reduced oxidative stress, lactic acidosis, and apoptosis and ultimately increased their survival. In conclusion, coexpression of IL9 and IL9R on T cells in CTCL patients indicates the autocrine-positive feedback loop of Th9 axis in promoting the survival of malignant T cells by reducing the oxidative stress. IMPLICATIONS: The critical role of Th9 axis in CTCL pathogenesis indicates that strategies targeting Th9 cells might harbor significant potential in developing robust CTCL therapy.

Abstract
Introduction: One of the mainstays of chemotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is induction with a goal to achieve morphological complete remission (CR). However, not all patients by this remission criterion achieve long-term remission and a subset relapse. This relapse is explained by the presence of measurable residual disease (MRD). Methods: We accrued 451 consecutive patients of adult AML (from March 2012 to December 2017) after informed consent. All patients received standard chemotherapy. MRD testing was done at post-induction and, if feasible, post-consolidation using 8- and later 10-color FCM. Analysis of MRD was done using a combination of difference from normal and leukemia-associated immunophenotype approaches. Conventional karyotyping and FISH were done as per standard recommendations, and patients were classified into favorable, intermediate, and poor cytogenetic risk groups. The presence of FLT3-ITD, NPM1, and CEBPA mutations was detected by a fragment length analysis-based assay. Results: As compared to Western data, our cohort of patients was younger with a median age of 35 years. There were 62 induction deaths in this cohort (13.7%), and 77 patients (17.1%) were not in morphological remission. The median follow-up was 26.0 months. Poor-risk cytogenetics and the presence of FLT3-ITD were significantly associated with inferior outcome. The presence of post-induction MRD assessment was significantly associated with adverse outcome with respect to OS (p = 0.01) as well as RFS (p = 0.004). Among established genetic subgroups, detection of MRD in intermediate cytogenetic and NPM1 mutated groups was also highly predictive of inferior outcome. On multivariate analysis, immunophenotypic MRD at the end of induction and FLT3-ITD emerged as independent prognostic factors predictive for outcome. Conclusion: This is the first data from a resource-constrained real-world setting demonstrating the utility of AML MRD as well as long-term outcome of AML. Our data is in agreement with other studies that determination of MRD is extremely important in predicting outcome. AML MRD is a very useful guide for guiding post-remission strategies in AML and should be incorporated into routine treatment algorithms.

Abstract
Detection of measurable residual disease (MRD) by mutation specific techniques has prognostic relevance in NPM1 mutated AML (NPM1mut AML). However, the clinical utility of next generation sequencing (NGS) to detect MRD in AML remains unproven. We analysed the clinical significance of monitoring MRD using ultradeep NGS (NGS-MRD) and flow cytometry (FCM-MRD) in 137 samples obtained from 83 patients of NPM1mut AML at the end of induction (PI) and consolidation (PC). We could monitor 12 different types of NPM1 mutations at a sensitivity of 0.001% using NGS-MRD. We demonstrated a significant correlation between NGS-MRD and real time quantitative PCR (RQ-PCR). Based upon a one log reduction between PI and PC time points we could classify patients as NGS-MRD positive (<1log reduction) or negative (>1log reduction). NGS-MRD, FCM-MRD as well as DNMT3A mutations were predictive of inferior overall survival (OS) and relapse free survival (RFS). On a multivariate analysis NGS-MRD emerged as an independent, most important prognostic factor predictive of inferior OS (hazard ratio, 3.64; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.58 to 8.37) and RFS (hazard ratio, 4.8; 95% CI:2.24 to 10.28). We establish that DNA based NPM1 NGS MRD is a highly useful test for prediction of relapse and survival in NPM1mut AML.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The Pediatric Hematolymphoid Disease Management Group (PHL-DMG) at a tertiary cancer care hospital developed extensive patient support programs to improve retention and outcomes while focusing on protocols adapted to meet patient needs. An audit of measures and outcomes was done for a 7-year period from January 2010 to December 2016. MATERIALS AND METHODS DMG protocols and patient support activities over the study period were documented and audited. Data was retrieved from internal databases and records. Measures taken and their impact were assessed by descriptive analytical tools. Survival outcomes were calculated using Kaplan-Meier method on SPSS v. 24™ software. RESULTS Holistic patient support measures were undertaken through a charitable foundation entirely under pediatric oncology. Activities included infrastructure growth, socioeconomic support, provision of accommodation, nutrition, education, and multiple blood component donation drives. Patient registrations increased from 502 in 2009 to 874 in 2016, with the steepest rise in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) - 330 (2009) to 547 (2016). Treatment refusal and abandonment rates decreased from 32% to 3.4% over the same period, and male to female ratio decreased from 2.56 to 2.28:1. Early mortality in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) fell within 2 years from 26.7% in 2009 to 7%. Five-year overall survival (OS) was 69.5% for all patients registered in 2010, whereas disease-specific 5-year OS was ALL 67.1%, AML 49.3%, chronic myeloid leukemia 100%, Hodgkin lymphoma 90.4%, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma 74.2%. CONCLUSIONS Holistic patient support-specific activities and adapted protocols made a measurable impact on patient outcomes. High survival outcomes of patients have been achieved despite relatively few receiving salvage therapies or stem cell transplant.

Abstract
Background BRAFV600E mutation has been reported as a unique genetic lesion of hairy cell leukemia (HCL), a subset of which lacks this lesion and shows adverse outcomes. Aims To determine the prevalence of BRAFV600E in HCL from our center and derive clinicopathological correlation, if any. Materials and Methods A 9-year retrospective analysis of 46 consecutive cases of HCL diagnosed on morphology and immunophenotyping was done. Stained smears were used as samples for amplification refractory mutation system polymerase-chain reaction using fluorescent primers for mutation detection. Results BRAFV600E mutation was detected in 41/46 patients (89.1%) while absent in control samples of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Cases mimicking HCL-variant clinically or immunophenotypically too showed the presence of this mutation. HCL with mutated BRAF presented at a younger age. No statistical difference in blood counts, tumor load, and immunophenotype patterns existed among BRAF mutated and unmutated group. Nine patients (45%) with mutated BRAF had residual disease following treatment with cladribine. Conclusion BRAFV600E mutation analysis has a definitive role in the diagnosis of HCL.

Abstract
Introduction Over the past decade, we have moved on from a predominantly morphological and clinical classification of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) to a more evolved classification that accounts for the molecular heterogeneity that is unique to this subgroup of hematological malignancies. This usually incorporates mutations in Janus kinase 2 (JAK2), MPL, and calreticulin (CALR) genes. In this manuscript, we report the frequency of these mutations in a cohort of Indian patients at a tertiary cancer center. Materials and Methods One hundred and thirty cases of MPN were included in this study. These cases were diagnosed and classified based on the World Health Organization 2008 criteria. JAK2 and MPL mutations were detected using high sensitivity allele-specific polymerase chain reaction using fluorescent labeled primers followed by capillary electrophoresis. A subset of JAK2 and CALR mutations were assessed using a fragment length assay. Results Among the MPN, we had 20 cases of polycythemia vera (PV), 34 cases of essential thrombocythemia (ET), and 59 of myelofibrosis (MF). JAK2, MPL, and CALR mutations were mutually exclusive of each other. Seventeen cases were categorized as MPN unclassifiable (MPN-U). JAK2p.V617F and MPL mutations were present in 60% (78 of 130) and 5.3% (7 of 130) of all MPN. All the PV cases harbored the JAK2 p.V617F mutation. A total of 23.8% (31 of 130) of patients harbored CALR mutations. CALR exon 9 mutations were detected in 60.8% (14 of 23) and 50% (5 of 10) of JAK2 and MPL negative MF and ET cases, respectively. MPN-U cases included three JAK2 p.V617F positive, two MPL p.W515 L, and 12 CALR positive cases. Ten different types of CALR indels (8 deletions and 2 insertions) were detected of which Type I and Type II mutations were the most common, occurring at a frequency of 45.1% (14 of 31) and 22.5% (7 of 31), respectively. Discussion and Conclusion We report frequencies of JAK2 p. V617F, MPL exon 10 and CALR mutations in 130 patients similar to those reported in western literature. These mutations carry not only diagnostic but also prognostic relevance.

Abstract
Background 2008 World Health Organization (WHO) classification of hematolymphoid neoplasms (HLN) has classified them based on morphology, results of various ancillary techniques, and clinical features.[1] There are no studies looking at the applicability of WHO classification. Aims The aim of the study was to calculate proportions of all HLN subtypes seen during 1-year period based on 2008 WHO classification of HLN and study applicability and also shortcomings of practices in a tertiary care center in India. Materials and Methods This was a 1-year retrospective study (January 1st, to December 31st, 2010) where cases were identified using hospital/laboratory electronic records. Old follow-up and referral cases were excluded from the study. Only newly diagnosed cases classified into categories laid down by 2008 WHO classification of HLN included. Results Out of 2118 newly diagnosed classifiable cases, 1602 (75.6%) cases were of lymphoid neoplasms, 489 (23.1%) cases of myeloid neoplasms, 16 (0.8%) cases of histiocytic and dendritic cell neoplasms, and 11 (0.5%) cases of acute leukemias of ambiguous lineage. Overall, most common HLN subtype was diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (n = 361, 17.0%). Precursor B-lymphoblastic leukaemia/lymphoma (n = 177, 48.2%) was the most common subtype within pediatric age group. Conclusions All major subtypes of HLN were seen at our center and showed trends almost similar to those seen in other Indian studies. Molecular/cytogenetic studies could not be performed on a significant number of cases owing to logistic reasons (unavailability of complete panels and also cost-related issues) and such cases could not be classified as per the WHO classification system.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Copy number alterations (CNA) have been described in childhood precursor B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) which in conjunction with chromosomal abnormalities drive leukemogenesis. There is no consensus on the clinical incorporation of CNA in B-ALL. An integrated genomic classification (IGC) has been proposed which includes CNA and cytogenetics. METHODS We correlated this IGC with immunophenotypic minimal residual disease (MRD) as well as other standard criteria for 245 patients of B-ALL such as National Cancer Institute (NCI) risk, D+8 prednisolone response, cytogenetics, and ploidy status. RESULTS MRD was detectable in 81 patients (33.1%). The most common abnormalities were seen in CDKN2A/B (25.7%) followed by PAX5(20%), ETV6(16.7%), IKZF1(15.5%), Rb1(5.3%), BTG (3.3%), EBF1(2.0%), and PAR1(0.8%). On integrating CNA into the IGC, 170 patients (69.4%) were classified into good genomic risk (GEN-GR) whereas 75 (30.6%) belonged to the poor genomic risk (GEN-PR) category. The IGC showed a significant correlation with MRD and NCI risk. The presence of CNA predicted MRD clearance in intermediate cytogenetics group. CONCLUSION These data seem to indicate that in addition to cytogenetics, CNA should be incorporated into routine clinical testing and risk algorithms for B-ALL. The IGC is of prognostic relevance and offers an additional avenue for prognostication and risk-adapted therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is paucity of data from India about the outcomes of patients with various hematological malignancies. Since its formation in 2009, the adult hematolymphoid disease management group of the Tata Memorial Centre is dedicated to the treatment of hematological malignancies alone. In this report, we present the outcomes of patients treated at our centre over a 5 year period for various haematological malignancies in both transplant and non-transplant setting. METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of all patients registered in adult hematolymphoid disease management group between 1st January 2010 to 31st December 2014. Patients not treated at our centre were excluded from survival analysis. The cut off date for survival analysis was 31st January 2016. RESULTS Overall, 1869, 3633 and 544 patients with acute leukemias, various lymphomas and myeloma respectively were registered at our centre from 1st January 2010 to 31st December 2014. Of these, 1178 (63%), 3091 (85%) and 454 (83%) respectively received treatment at our centre. The cumulative probability of 5 year overall survival for patients with acute leukemias, Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma treated at our centre is 40%, 85%, 78% and 40% respectively. Four hundred and fifteen stem cell transplants were done between 14th November 2007 to 31st December 2014 with 46% being allogeneic and 54% being autologous. The 5 year overall survival of patients with allogenic and autologous transplant was 52% and 63% respectively. CONCLUSIONS This is the largest single centre data on outcomes of various haematological malignancies from India. This real world data identifies areas which need further attention to improve outcomes.

Abstract
Mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) is a rare hematolymphoid neoplasm, representing only 3%-5% of acute leukemia. Although MPAL has been sufficiently described in the literature, its extramedullary presentation as a solitary lesion without leukemic (bone marrow [BM]) involvement is rarely described. We are presenting two cases of mixed phenotypic blastic hematolymphoid neoplasms without leukemic involvement at disease presentation in 8-year-old female and 21-year-old male patients. Both the cases had extralymphatic bone involvement in the form of solitary bone lesion. Initially, there was no leukemic involvement in both the cases, but the second case progressed to acute leukemia during the course of the disease. On immunophenotypic evaluation, both the cases revealed blasts showing unequivocal evidence of myeloid and B-lymphoid lineage commitment. These cases were difficult to categorize either into MPAL as the BM was not involved or into lymphoblastic lymphoma due to coexpression of myeloid differentiation. Therefore, we chose to classify them as a bi/mixed phenotypic blastic hematolymphoid neoplasm. Detailed immunophenotypic analysis either by immunohistochemistry or flow cytometric immunophenotyping is important for the diagnosis of such cases as they have a poor prognosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cytogenetic aberrations as well as presence of IGVH mutations are the underlying reason for clinical heterogeneity in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). The presence of IGVH mutations as well as the predominant gene usage shows geographical variations. However, there is no study from India addressing immunogenetics of CLL. In a first Indian study we document the immunogenetics of CLL in a large tertiary hospital. METHODS We analyzed IGVH mutation status, VH gene usage, cytogenetic abnormalities using FISH, immunophenotyping data and correlated them with standard clinical variables in 84 patients of CLL. RESULTS Advanced Rai stage (Stage 3/4) was seen in 45% of our patients, where as 13q deletion was the commonest clonal cytogenetic abnormality detected in 48.4% of the cases. IGVH unmutated cases (55.2%) showed higher proportion expressing CD38 and CD49d, a preferential usage for VH1 and VH3 families (55.2%), presentation at an advanced Rai stage (52.8%) as well as more frequent presence of p53 deletions. As compared to the IGVH mutated cases greater proportion of IGVH unmutated patients (70%) required treatment. However, there was no significant difference in the time to treatment between mutated and unmutated cases which can be attributed to relatively short median follow up of 10 months. CONCLUSION To summarize, we have seen a higher proportion of IGVH unmutated patients in our cohort (55.2%). The commonly used VH genes in the Indian population are IGVH 2-5, IGVH 1-2 and IGVH 1-69. Longer clinical follow up and a larger cohort is necessary to confirm the prognostic value of IGVH mutation analysis in Indian Patients with CLL.

Abstract
Systemic mastocytosis (SM) with associated clonal nonmast cell lineage disease is seen in up to 20% cases of SM. SM is uncommon in the pediatric population. T (8; 21) (q22; q22) is a good prognostic factor in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, the presence of SM confers poor prognosis in t (8; 21) (q22; q22) associated AML. We report the case of a child with t (8; 21) (q22; q22) associated AML with SM and her minimal residual disease status over the course of her treatment. In our case, the abnormal mast cells, showing co-expression of CD25 and CD2, persisted even after the marrow showed no evidence of residual AML.

Abstract
Surface light chain expression is a feature of mature B-cell neoplasms. Light chain restriction in precursor B acute lymphoblastic leukemia is infrequently seen. We report a case of a 28-year-old female with non-FAB L3 morphology blasts and immunophenotypic features showing overlap between a precursor and mature B-cell neoplasm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CD19 is a B-cell specific marker, expressed on all stages of B-lymphocytes including plasma cells. It is widely used in the flow cytometric immunophenotyping (FCI) of B-cell and plasma cell malignancies. The analysis approach of FCI for the diagnosis and monitoring of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is totally based on the CD19-based primary gating strategy and it would be challenging to study B-ALL without CD19 expression. Since CD19 negative B-ALL are extremely rare, we report three cases of B-ALL with negative expression of CD19 and discussed its implication in the diagnosis, residual disease monitoring and future targeted therapy. METHODS Peripheral blood (PB) and bone marrow (BM) samples from three cases suspicious of acute leukemia were studied for morphology, cytochemistry, immunophenotyping and cytogenetics. FCI was performed using a comprehensive six to eight-color multiparametric assay. The cytogenetic studies for standard recurrent genetic translocations were performed by FISH & Karyotyping. RESULTS The three cases studied were diagnosed as B-ALL based on the expression of CD10, CD20, CD22, CD34, and CD79a by leukemic blasts. CD19 was studied using two different clones (i.e. J3-119 & HIB-19) and found to be severely down regulated in all three cases. There were no significant differentiating features in morphology. Cytogenetic studies were negative for recurrent translocations. CONCLUSION We report three cases of extremely rare CD19 negative B-ALL. Lack of awareness of negative CD19 expression in B-ALL can leads to incorrect immunophenotypic diagnosis and monitoring of B-ALL, especially in laboratories using limited markers. © 2016 International Clinical Cytometry Society.
