A 320-kb deletion in the pseudoautosomal region of the X/Y chromosome in leukemic cells, resulting in a gene fusion between the purinergic receptor and cytokine receptor-like factor-2 (P2Y Receptor Family Member 8 (P2RY8)::CRLF2), is a common feature in ~60% of DS-ALL and ~40% of iAMP21 patients, suggesting a link between chromosome 21 and P2RY8::CRLF2. Here, CRLF2 is linked to acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
