Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Del17p13 predicts poor outcome and chemorefractoriness in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Conversely, it is unknown whether TP53 mutations carry any prognostic value independent of del17p13. We tested the independent prognostic value of TP53 mutations in CLL. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: The study was based on a consecutive series of 308 CLL. DNA sequencing of TP53 exons 2 to 10 and del17p13 interphase...
