| * Complex karyotype was defined as ≥3 clonal chromosomal abnormalities. EMI – extramedullary infiltration; allo-HSCT – allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; WBC – white blood cell count; HB – hemoglobin; PLT – platelets; BM – bone marrow; EMI – extramedullary infiltration; CNS – central nervous system; -Y – loss of Y chromosome; -X – loss of X chromosome. | ||||
