title: Cytogenetics and immunophenotypes of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia in Hong Kong.
abstract: We present the cytogenetics and immunophenotypes of 55 cases of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia in Hong Kong. Although the pattern of immunophenotypes is similar to that of the west, hyperdiploidy is rarely observed locally. Our preliminary analysis also reveals some new translocations.
