Chromothripsis (cth) has been associated with a poor prognosis in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients. Despite its correlation with high genome instability, previous studies have not evaluated the role of cth in the context of genomic complexity. We analyzed 33 CLL patients with cth and compared them with 129 non-cth cases with complex karyotypes. Nine cth cases were analyzed using optical genome mapping (OGM). Patterns detected by genomic microarrays were compared, and the prognostic value of cth was assessed.
Simple Summary Chromothripsis, a genomic event that generates massive chromosomal rearrangements, has been described in 1-3% of CLL patients and is associated with poor prognostic factors (e.g., TP53 abnormalities and genomic complexity). However, previous studies have not assessed its role in CLL patients with complex karyotypes. Herein, we aimed to describe the genetic characteristics of 33 CLL patients with high genomic complexity and chromothripsis. Moreover, we analyzed the clinical impact of chromothripsis, comparing these patients against a cohort of 129 patients with complex karyotypes not presenting this catastrophic event. Nine cases were also assessed via the novel cytogenomic methodology known as optical genome mapping. We confirmed that this phenomenon is heterogeneous and associated with a shorter time to first treatment. Nonetheless, our findings suggested that TP53 abnormalities, rather than chromothripsis itself, underlie the dismal outcome. Chromothripsis (cth) has been associated with a dismal outcome and poor prognosis factors in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Despite being correlated with high genome instability, previous studies have not assessed the role of cth in the context of genomic complexity. Herein, we analyzed a cohort of 33 CLL patients with cth and compared them against a cohort of 129 non-cth cases with complex karyotypes. Nine cth cases were analyzed using optical genome mapping (OGM). Patterns detected by genomic microarrays were compared and the prognostic value of cth was analyzed. Cth was distributed throughout the genome, with chromosomes 3, 6 and 13 being those most frequently affected. OGM detected 88.1% of the previously known copy number alterations and several additional cth-related rearrangements (median: 9, range: 3-26). Two patterns were identified: one with rearrangements clustered in the region with cth (3/9) and the other involving both chromothriptic and non-chromothriptic chromosomes (6/9). Cases with cth showed a shorter time to first treatment (TTFT) than non-cth patients (median TTFT: 2 m vs. 15 m; p = 0.013). However, when stratifying patients based on TP53 status, cth did not affect TTFT. Only TP53 maintained its significance in the multivariate analysis for TTFT, including cth and genome complexity defined by genomic microarrays (HR: 1.60; p = 0.029). Our findings suggest that TP53 abnormalities, rather than cth itself, underlie the poor prognosis observed in this subset.
