Abstract

Philadelphia chromosome-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (Ph-like ALL) is a high-risk B-lineage ALL subtype occurring in 10-15% of children and 25-30% of adolescents and young adults with B-ALL. Characterized by a kinase-activated gene expression profile, Ph-like ALL lacks the BCR::ABL1 fusion seen in Ph+ ALL. Instead, it features activating variants in JAK/STAT, ABL-class, or other kinase signaling pathways. This subtype is associated with high relapse rates and poor overall survival, underscoring the need for improved understanding of its genetic drivers.
