Genomic arrays identify high-risk chronic lymphocytic leukemia with genomic complexity: a multicenter study

Alexander C. Leeksma et al.

Summary: Genomic arrays have been shown to be an accurate tool for risk stratification in CLL, with high genomic complexity being an independent adverse prognosticator. Lowering the size cutoff for CNA did not significantly improve risk assessment. Arrays detected more chromosomal abnormalities and performed at least as well as simultaneous chromosome banding analysis for risk stratification.

Frequency, variations, and prognostic implications of chromosome 14q32 deletions in chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Rachel A. Harris et al.

Summary: This study examined the frequency and characteristics of 14q32 deletions in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cases, finding an association between 14q32 deletions and CLL prognosis. The importance of comprehensive testing in understanding the implications of 14q32 deletions in CLL was underscored in this investigation.

Dissecting the role of TP53 alterations in del(11q) chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Miguel Quijada-Alamo et al.

Summary: Our study found that concurrent biallelic ATM and TP53 loss is mutually exclusive in CLL, while monoallelic del(11q) and TP53 alterations significantly co-occur in a subset of patients with poor prognosis. CRISPR/Cas9-edited CLL cell lines revealed that combined del(11q) and TP53 mutations provide clonal advantage, whereas CLL cells with biallelic ATM and TP53 loss fail to compete in xenotransplants. Furthermore, CLL cell lines with del(11q) and TP53 mutations show partial responses to B cell receptor signaling inhibitors, indicating potential benefit from ATR inhibition.

From Biomarkers to Models in the Changing Landscape of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: Evolve or Become Extinct

Isabel Gonzalez-Gascon-y-Marin et al.

Summary: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a highly heterogeneous disease, and with the introduction of oral targeted agents (Tas), the treatment of CLL has undergone a revolution, leading to improved patient survival and quality of life. This shift in approach also impacts the value of prognostic and predictive biomarkers and prognostic models.

The Evolving Landscape of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia on Diagnosis, Prognosis and Treatment

Claudia Perez-Carretero et al.

Summary: Research on chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has made significant progress over the past forty years, particularly in understanding diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. Next-generation sequencing has identified a large number of gene mutations with potential prognostic value, while targeted therapies have revolutionized patient management.

Biological significance of monoallelic and biallelic BIRC3 loss in del(11q) chronic lymphocytic leukemia progression

Miguel Quijada-Alamo et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that monoallelic deletion of BIRC3 in del(11q) CLL cells promotes activation of non-canonical NF-kappa B signaling, with further enhancement of this effect in cells with biallelic BIRC3 loss. Additionally, BIRC3 mutations accelerate leukemic progression in CLL, highlighting the biological mechanisms underlying disease progression in patients with del(11q) CLL harboring BIRC3 deletion and mutation.
