    Characterizing patients with multiple chromosomal aberrations detected by FISH in chronic lymphocytic leukemia
    (Leukemia & Lymphoma, 2017) González-Gascón y Marín, Isabel; Hernández Sánchez, María; Rodríguez-Vicente, Ana Eugenia; Puiggros, Anna; Collado, Rosa; Luño, Elisa; González, Teresa; Ruiz-Xivillé, Neus; Ortega, Margarita; Gimeno, Eva; Muñoz, Carolina; Infante, Maria Stefania; Delgado, Julio; Vargas, María Teresa; González, Marcos; Bosch, Francesc; Espinet, Blanca; Hernández-Rivas, Jesús María; Hernández, José Ángel
    We analyzed the features of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with multiple abnormalities (MA) detected by FISH. A local database including 2095 CLL cases was used and 323 with MA (15.4%) were selected. MA was defined by the presence of two or more alterations (deletions of 13q14 (13q-), 11q22 (11q-), 17p13 (17p-) or trisomy 12 (+12)). The combination of 13q- with 11q- and 13q- with 17p-, accounted for 58.2% of the series, in contrast to 11q- with 17p- (3.7%). Patients carrying MA since diagnosis presented a short time to first therapy(TTFT) (27 months) and overall survival (OS) (76 months). The combinations including 17p- had a shorter OS (58 months) than the ones without 17p- (not reached, p = .002). Patients with a complex-FISH were the ones with worse OS (34 months). MA imply poor prognosis when they emerge at diagnosis, probably due to the high incidence of bad prognosis markers, which may be a reflection of a more complex karyotype.

    A Low Frequency of Losses in 11q Chromosome Is Associated with Better Outcome and Lower Rate of Genomic Mutations in Patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
    (Plos One, 2015) Hernández Rivas, José Ángel; Hernández Sánchez, María; Rodríguez-Vicente, Ana Eugenia; Grossmann, Vera; Collado, Rosa; Heras, Cecilia ; Puiggros, Anna; Martín, Ana África; Puig, Noemí; Benito, Rocío; Robledo, Cristina; Delgado, Julio; González, Teresa; Queizán, José Antonio; Galende, Josefina; Fuente, Ignacio de la; Martín-Núñez, Guillermo; Alonso, José María; Abrisqueta, Pau; Luño, Elisa; Marugán, Isabel; González-Gascón, Isabel; Bosch, Francesc; Kohlmann, Alexander; González, Marcos; Espinet, Blanca; Hernández-Rivas, Jesús María; Spencer B.

    To analyze the impact of the 11q deleted (11q-) cells in CLL patients on the time to first therapy (TFT) and overall survival (OS), 2,493 patients with CLL were studied. 242 patients (9.7%) had 11q-. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies showed a threshold of 40% of deleted cells to be optimal for showing that clinical differences in terms of TFT and OS within 11q- CLLs. In patients with ≥40% of losses in 11q (11q-H) (74%), the median TFT was 19 months compared with 44 months in CLL patients with <40% del(11q) (11q-L) (P<0.0001). In the multivariate analysis, only the presence of 11q-L, mutated IGHV status, early Binet stage and absence of extended lymphadenopathy were associated with longer TFT. Patients with 11q-H had an OS of 90 months, while in the 11q-L group the OS was not reached (P = 0.008). The absence of splenomegaly (P = 0.02), low LDH (P = 0.018) or β2M (P = 0.006), and the presence of 11q-L (P = 0.003) were associated with a longer OS. In addition, to detect the presence of mutations in the ATM, TP53, NOTCH1, SF3B1, MYD88, FBXW7, XPO1 and BIRC3 genes, a select cohort of CLL patients with losses in 11q was sequenced by next-generation sequencing of amplicons. Eighty % of CLLs with 11q- showed mutations and fewer patients with low frequencies of 11q- had mutations among genes examined (50% vs 94.1%, P = 0.023). In summary, CLL patients with <40% of 11q- had a long TFT and OS that could be associated with the presence of fewer mutated genes.

    Chronic lymphocytic leukemia with isochromosome 17q: An aggressive subgroup associated with TP53 mutations and complex karyotypes
    (Cancer Letters, 2017) Collado, Rosa; Puiggros, Anna; López-Guerrero, José Antonio; Calasanz, Ma José; Larráyoz, Ma José; Ivars, David; García-Casado, Zaida; Abella, Eugènia; Orero, Ma Teresa; Talavera, Elisabet; Oliveira, Ana Carla; Hernández-Rivas, Jesús Ma; Hernández Sánchez, María; Luño, Elisa; Valiente, Alberto; Grau, Javier; Portal,Inmaculada; Gardella, Santiago; Salgado, Anna Camino; Giménez, Ma Teresa; Ardanaz, Ma Teresa; Campeny, Andrea; Hernández, José Julio; Álvarez, Sara; Espinet, Blanca; Carbonell, Félix
    Although i(17q) [i(17q)] is frequently detected in hematological malignancies, few studies have assessed its clinical role in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). We recruited a cohort of 22 CLL patients with i(17q) and described their biological characteristics, mutational status of the genes TP53 and IGHV and genomic complexity. Furthermore, we analyzed the impact of the type of cytogenetic anomaly bearing the TP53 defect on the outcome of CLL patients and compared the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of i(17q) cases with those of a group of 38 CLL patients harboring other 17p aberrations. We detected IGHV somatic hypermutation in all assessed patients, and TP53 mutations were observed in 71.4% of the cases. Patients with i(17q) were more commonly associated with complex karyotypes (CK) and tended to have a poorer OS than patients with other anomalies affecting 17p13 (median OS, 44 vs 120 months, P = 0.084). Regarding chromosomal alterations, significant differences in the median OS were found among groups (P = 0.044). In conclusion, our findings provide new insights regarding i(17q) in CLL and show a subgroup with adverse prognostic features.
