Abstract 4785 Background The karyotype is an important predictor of outcome in adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Some groups have reported the negative prognostic value of complex karyotype (CK, defined as ≥5 unrelated chromosomal abnormalities) in adult ALL (Moorman et al, Blood. 2007:109;3189-97). On the other hand, monosomal karyotype (MK, defined as ≥2 distinct autosomal chromosome monosomies or 1 single monosomy in the presence of structural abnormalities) has been associated with a worse outcome in patients with acute myeloid leukemia. We aimed to assess the prognostic value of cytogenetic abnormalities, especially CK and MK, in adults with ALL treated with protocols of the Spanish PETHEMA Group. Patients and Methods The karyotypes of 783 adult ALL patients from 63 Spanish centers treated according to the protocols of the PETHEMA Group between 1993 and 2011 were reviewed. The several PETHEMA protocols were risk-adapted (standard-risk –SR–, high-risk –HR–) or subtype-oriented (Philadelphia chromosome [Ph+] ALL -with or without imatinib-, and Burkitt's ALL [BL]). The impact of the main cytogenetic abnormalities as well as of the CK and MK on complete remission (CR) rate, CR duration, overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) was analyzed. Results The median age of the series was 33 years (range 15–82) and 448 patients (57.2%) were male. The karyotypes of 560 out of 783 patients were evaluable after review: normal karyotype 153 patients, t(9;22) 120, t(v;11q23) 30, t(8;14), t(8;22) or t(2;8) 47, high hyperdiploidy (〉50 chromosomes) 53, low hyperdiploidy (47–50 chromosomes) 52, hypodiploidy (45–39 chromosomes) 32 and extreme hypodiploidy (
