RT Journal Article T1 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 A1 Hernández Rivas, José Ángel A1 Hernández Sánchez, María A1 Rodríguez-Vicente, Ana Eugenia A1 Grossmann, Vera A1 Collado, Rosa A1 Heras, Cecilia A1 Puiggros, Anna A1 Martín, Ana África A1 Puig, Noemí A1 Benito, Rocío A1 Robledo, Cristina A1 Delgado, Julio A1 González, Teresa A1 Queizán, José Antonio A1 Galende, Josefina A1 Fuente, Ignacio de la A1 Martín-Núñez, Guillermo A1 Alonso, José María A1 Abrisqueta, Pau A1 Luño, Elisa A1 Marugán, Isabel A1 González-Gascón, Isabel A1 Bosch, Francesc A1 Kohlmann, Alexander A1 González, Marcos A1 Espinet, Blanca A1 Hernández-Rivas, Jesús María A2 Spencer B. Gibson, AB 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.
