Array comparative genomic hybridization has proven to be a very powerful tool in searching for new biomarkers which can find an application in clinical practise. CGH-array technology is satisfying in almost every possible way. It is highly specific, sensitive, simple, and relatively cheap. Thus, this modern method meets the demands of clinical application. An increasing knowledge about molecular pathways and pathologic genome alterations in acute leukemias enable to define unequivocal diagnosis, prognosis and to predict a response to individual compatible therapy. This review shows a various application of CGH-array in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
