Introduction: Although survival rates of pediatric T-cell lymphoma (T-LBL) and related T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) patients are about 70–90%, prognosis in case of relapse is very poor. In contrast to the leukemia type of the disease, little is known about the genetic background of the lymphoma type, and recent analyses reveal certain differences between the two manifestations. Methods: DNA of 213 T-LBL and 127 pediatric T-ALL cases, treated according to ALL-BFM (type) treatment strategy, was used for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analyses. Results: LOH in T-LBL was significantly associated with po…
