Age distribution. Training cohort: n = 35 (5%) aged <2 y, n = 190 (28%) aged 2-6 y, n = 201 (30%) aged 7-11 y, and n = 247 (37%) aged 12-18 y. Validation cohort: n = 33 (4%) aged <2 y, n = 180 (27%) aged 2-6 y, n = 228 (34%) aged 7-11 y, and n = 231 (34%) aged 12-18 y.

Cytogenetic risk: poor ((t9;22), iAMP21, abnormal 17p, loss of 13q, and 11q23 [infant]); intermediate (all others).
