We evaluated the concordance between eight-color, two-tube MFC-MRD the LymphoTrack NGS-MRD assays using 139 follow-up samples from 54 pediatric patients with B-ALL. We also assessed the effect of hemodilution in MFC-MRD assays. The MRD-concordance rate was 79.9% (N=111), with 25 (18.0%) and 3 (2.2%) samples testing positive only by NGS-MRD (MFC<sup>-</sup>NGS<sup>+</sup>MRD) and MFC-MRD (MFC<sup>+</sup>NGS<sup>-</sup>MRD), respectively. We found a significant correlation in MRD values from total nucleated cells between the two methods (r=0.736 [0.647-0.806], <i>P</i><0.001). The median MRD value of MFC<sup>-</sup>NGS<sup>+</sup>MRD samples was estimated to be 0.0012% (0.0001%-0.0263%) using the NGS-MRD assays.

The percentages of hematogones detected in MFC-MRD assays significantly differed between the discordant and concordant cases (<i>P</i><0.001). MFC and NGS-MRD assays showed relatively high concordance and correlation in MRD assessment, whereas the NGS-MRD assay detected MRD more frequently than the MFC-MRD assay in pediatric B-ALL.
