Targeted multigene deep sequencing of Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor–resistant chronic lymphocytic leukemia with disease progression and Richter transformation
3 Dec 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In a proportion of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), resistance to Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors (BTKi) is attributed to acquired BTK/phospholipase C gamma 2 (PLCG2) mutations. However, knowledge regarding additional genetic lesions associated with BTK/PLCG2 mutations, and gene mutations in patients lacking BTK/PLCG2 mutations, is limited. METHODS: Using targeted deep...
