ABL1 gene located on chromosome 9 is translocated to BCR gene on chromosome 22, resulting in BCR-ABL1 fusion gene that leads to constitutive activation of tyrosine kinase ABL1 in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Ph-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)[1]. Besides BCR, some rare partner genes, such as ETV6, ZMIZ1, NUP214, EML1, SFPQ, RCSD1, and SEPT9, have been identified in CML, ALL, and T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL) patients [2, 3]. SNX2-ABL1, which is also a rare fusion gene, was first identified in a 29-year-old male with B-ALL whose karyotype was t (5; 9)(q23; q34) and 2q-[4]. Another case with SNX2-ABL1 was recently described in a 9-year-old boy with B-ALL [5]. Molecular genetics of BCR-ABL1-positive ALL has been widely studied and the prognosis of this disease has been dramatically promoted since the introduction of imatinib before allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT)[6]. However, molecular feature and clinical outcome of ALL with rare ABL1 fusion genes are unknown. Here, we reported a B-ALL patient with SNX2-ABL1 accompanied by IKZF1 deletion and PAX5 amplification who had an adverse outcome. The study was approved by Medical Ethical Committee of Ningbo First Hospital.In December 2013, a 16-year-old male was hospitalized due to dizziness for 10 days. The physical examination showed sternal tenderness, mild hepatosplenomegaly, and superficial lymphadenopathy. A complete blood count revealed a white blood cell (WBC) count of 152.4 Â 109/L with increased lymphocytes (74%), hemoglobin of 123g/L, and a platelet count of 38Â 109/L. Bone marrow aspirate was hypercellular, showing 53.5% lymphoblasts, 25.0% prolymphocytes, and 16% lymphocytes. The blasts were positive for CD10, CD19, CD20, and CD34. The karyotype was 46, XY, t (5; 9)(q23; q34)[4]/46, XY [6]. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) showed
