Abstract excerpt
Genomic markers are among the strongest prognostic factors in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Chromosomal aberrations, IGHV and TP53 mutation status are well-established and essential to discriminate between a more indolent course of disease and a high-risk CLL, which requires an alternative treatment regimen. In addition, a variety of gene mutations with unclear prognostic value have been identified: SF3B1,...
