We describe a case of a four-year-old boy diagnosed with an Early T-cell Precursor Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. This type of leukaemia is recognised as a high-risk subgroup characterised by very early arrest in T-cell differentiation. Early T-cell Precursor Lymphoblastic Leukaemia cases have characteristic gene expression profiles, increased genomic instability and a distinct immature immunophenotype (CD1a–, CD8–, CD5+dim and positivity for at least one marker of stem cell or myeloid lineage). This type of leukaemia is associated with poor prognosis and a poor response to intensive chemotherapy, though this finding is still debated. Our patient displayed an inferior response to induction therapy. The main purpose of this report is to make Belgian physicians aware of this entity and its controversial prognostic significance.

A typical hallmark of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia is its clinical heterogeneity, which is reflected by the presence or absence of several prognostic factors, such as cell surface molecules, genetic lesions and microRNAs. Despite having established prognostic value, the functional implications of most of these biomarkers remains poorly defined. The aim of this work was to gain more insight into the role of the B cell receptor and associated prognostic markers ZAP70 and LPL in the biology of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.
