Trisomy 12 (+12) is the third most frequent cytogenetic aberration in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) retrievable both as the sole chromosomal abnormality or in association with additional alterations. NOTCH1 mutations are known to be more prevalent among +12 patients, whereas mutations of FBXW7, a gene involved in NOTCH1 degradation, that lead to the constitutional activation of NOTCH1 have not been...
