Abstract
We present the cytogenetics and immunophenotypes of 55 cases of childh ood acute lymphoblastic leukemia in Hong Kong. Although the pattern of immunophenotypes is similar to that of the west, hyperdiploidy is rar ely observed locally. Our preliminary analysis also reveals some new t ranslocations.
