Prognoses according to specific chromosomal abnormalities. (A) Forest plots showing hazard ratios obtained by univariate Cox analysis for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) according to the presence of specific chromosomal abnormalities using patients with lymphoma bone marrow involvement and normal karyotype as a reference group in 327 patients having either abnormal karyotypes or histologic BM involvement. (B) Based on a cluster analysis of 33 frequent numerical abnormalities and breakpoints, 138 patients with ≥ 2 chromosomal abnormalities were segregated into clusters with characteristic abnormality patterns. The horizontal labels indicate clusters (red, Cluster 1; yellow, Cluster 2; green, Cluster 3; blue, Cluster 4; cyan, Cluster 5; purple, Cluster 6; and black, Cluster 7). The characteristic loci of the abnormalities in each cluster are indicated in red, and the loci associated with a poor prognosis in the univariate analysis are indicated in blue in the right panel. (C) The (OS) and PFS of each cluster is plotted.
