Abstract excerpt
Deletion of 17p (TP53) identifies a rare subset of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (17p- CLL) with aggressive behaviour. Genome-wide DNA-profiling was performed to investigate 18 patients with 17p- CLL. All cases had multiple copy-number (CN) changes. Among the several recurrent CN changes identified, 8q24.13-q24.1-gain (MYC), 8p-loss (TNFRSF10A/B, also known as TRAIL1/2) and 2p16.1-p14-gain (REL/BCL11A) appeared...
