Acute leukaemia in children--French-American-British (FAB) classification and its relation to clinical features.

A retrospective study of 45 patients of acute leukaemia in children (15 years age), in relation to FAB classification, is presented. Acute lymphoblastic leukaemias (ALL) were commoner than acute myeloid leukaemias (AML), with an ALL:AML ratio of 4.63:1. Amongst ALL, L1 was the most frequent type (59%), followed by L2 (35%) and L3 (5.4%), respectively. FAB types M2, M3, M4 and M5 were diagnosed ...

Myelodysplastic syndromes: from French-American-British to World Health Organization: a commentary.

We would like to point out that in each hybridization we can detect the germline band(s) of expected size, either from the nontumor cells in the marrow sample or the nontranslocated allele, serving as an additional internal control. Importantly, alternative enzyme/probe hybridizations were performed in our study according to recombinant bands already demonstrated with the " original " combinati...

Proposals for the classification of the acute leukaemias. French-American-British (FAB) co-operative group.

A uniform system of classification and nomenclature of the acute leukaemias, at present lacking, should permit more accurate recording of the distribution of cases entered into clinical trials, and could provide a reference standard when newly developed cell-surface markers believed to characterize specific cell types are applied to cases of acute leukaemia. Proposals based on conventional morp...

French American British (FAB) morphological classification of childhood lymphoblastic leukaemia and its clinical importance.

As part of the Medical Research Council Leukaemia Trial UKALL VIII, 738 unselected children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) had the morphology of their marrow blast cells reviewed by a panel of three haematologists. Ninety four (13%) showed appearances classifiable as type L2 by the French American and British (FAB) cooperative group's criteria, five (0.7%) were typed L3, and the remai...
