Abstract
Chromosomal aberrations are a common feature of cancer and can fuel cancer progression and treatment resistance. In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), the presence of multiple chromosomal aberrations is commonly referred to as "genomic complexity" or "complex karyotype"- (CKT). In the context of chemo- and chemoimmunotherapy, genomic complexity is associated with poor response to treatment and short survival, while some targeted therapies are able to mitigate its adverse prognostic impact. This article reviews currently available data and literature on the role of genomic complexity in CLL. The currently established tools to measure genomic complexity in patients with CLL are summarized and their strengths and weaknesses for routine diagnostics are evaluated. Moreover, possible definitions of CKT as an indicator for genomic complexity are discussed. Finally, data on the impact of CKT on clinical outcomes of patients with CLL are reviewed and the implications for patient stratification are presented.

Abstract
Chromosomal abnormalities are frequent in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and most have prognostic value. In addition to the four well-known abnormalities (13q, 11q and 17p deletions, and trisomy 12), other recurrent aberrations have been linked to the disease outcome and/or drug resistance. Moreover, the complex karyotype has recently emerged as a prognostic marker for patients undergoing immunochemotherapy or targeted therapies. Here, we describe the main chromosomal abnormalities identified in CLL and related disorders (small lymphocytic lymphoma and monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis) by reviewing the most recent literature and discussing their detection and clinical impact. Lastly, we provide technical guidelines and a strategy for the cytogenetic assessment of CLL.

Abstract
Complex karyotypes have been associated with inferior outcomes in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) treated with chemoimmunotherapy (CIT), whereas their prognostic impact in the context of venetoclax-based treatments is still debated. In this prospective analysis on karyotype complexity in CLL, we evaluated the impact of complex (≥3 chromosomal aberrations [CAs], CKTs) and highly complex karyotypes (≥5 CAs; hCKTs) as well as specific aberrations in previously untreated patients without TP53 aberrations undergoing either CIT or time-limited venetoclax-based therapies in the phase 3 GAIA/CLL13 trial. Karyotype analyses were available for 895 of 926 patients (96.7%), of whom 153 (17%) had a CKT and 43 (5%) hCKT. In the CIT arm, CKT was associated with shorter progression-free survival (PFS) (hazard ratio [HR] 2.58; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.54-4.32; P < .001) and overall survival (HR, 3.25; 95% CI, 1.03-10.26; P = .044). In the pooled venetoclax arms, a multivariable analysis identified hCKTs (HR, 1.96; 95% CI, 1.03-3.72; P = .041), but not CKTs, as independent adverse prognosticators for PFS. The presence of translocations (unbalanced and/or balanced) was also independently associated with shorter PFSs in the venetoclax arms. CIT led to the acquisition of additional CAs (mean CAs, 2.0-3.4; from baseline to CLL progression), whereas karyotype complexity remained stable after venetoclax-based treatments (2.0, both time points). This analysis establishes highly complex karyotypes and translocations as adverse prognostic factors in the context of venetoclax-based combination treatments. The findings of this study support the incorporation of karyotyping into the standard diagnostic workup of CLL, because it identifies patients at high risk of poor treatment outcomes and thereby improves prognostication. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02950051.

Decreased cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in human B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia following miR-221 inhibition through modulation of p27 expression.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
This study aimed to investigate the effects of the miR-221 inhibition on the human B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) cell viability and the p27 gene expression, to introduce a new treatment approach for this type of cancer. In this context, the cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) inhibitor 1B (p27Kip1) is considered as an enzyme inhibitor that encodes a protein belonging to the Cip/Kip family of the Cdk inhibitor proteins.
Methods
The affected miR-221 inhibition in the B-CLL cell viability was initially assessed. The inhibition of miR-221 in the B-CLL cell line (183-E95) was thus performed using locked nucleic acid (LNA) as an antagomir. After the LNA-anti-miR-221 transfection, the miR-221 quantification, cell viability, and apoptosis assays were evaluated at different intervals by the reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, and flow cytometry (FC), respectively. The qRT-PCR was also completed for the p27 gene. The data were subsequently analyzed by independent-samples t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).
Results
A gradual reduction was observed in the B-CLL cell viability, and consequently the transfected LNA-anti-miR cell viability reached below 55% of the untreated cells after 72 h of transfection. A statistically significant difference was found in the cell viability between the LNA-anti-miR-treated and control groups (p-value ≤ 0.043). The downregulation of miR-221 in the B-CLL (183-E95) cells was further conducted by LNA-anti-miR-221.
Conclusion
The miR-221 inhibition significantly decreases cell viability through augmenting the p27 gene expression and inducing apoptosis. Moreover, the findings demonstrated that the inhibition of miR-221 might be a new treatment approach for B-CLL, although more confirmation is needed by investigating appropriate animal models.

Five Percent Variant Allele Frequency Is a Reliable Reporting Threshold for TP53 Variants Detected by Next Generation Sequencing in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia in the Clinical Setting. Hemasphere 2022; 6:e761. [PMID: 35935605 PMCID: PMC9348859 DOI: 10.1097/hs9.0000000000000761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2022] [Accepted: 07/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
The clinical significance of small TP53 clones detected with next generation sequencing (NGS) in chronic lymphocytic leukemia is an issue of active debate. According to the official guidelines, treatment decisions should be guided only by variants with variant allele frequency (VAF) ≥10%. We present data on 325 consecutive patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia analyzed with NGS. In total 47 pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP), TP53 variants were detected in 26 patients (8%). Eleven of these (23%) were in the 5% to 10% VAF range and reported according to our institutional policy. All TP53 variants in the 5% to 10% VAF range were confirmed (100% concordance) with a second NGS panel. Our results where further validated with the performance of Sanger sequencing and digital droplet PCR (ddPCR). In 12 patients with available fluorescence in situ hybridization data and TP53 mutations within 5% to 10% VAF, deletion of chromosome 17p (del(17p)) was detectable in only 1 patient. We propose a robust diagnostic algorithm, which allows the safe detection and reporting of TP53 variants with VAF down to 5% in the clinical setting. Our study provides evidence that NGS is equally potent to detect variants with VAF 5% to 10% compared to those with VAF 10% to 15%, highlighting the urgent need for harmonization of NGS methodologies across diagnostic laboratories.

Abstract
Novel treatments in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) have generated interest regarding the clinical impact of genomic complexity, currently assessed by chromosome banding analysis (CBA) and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). Optical genome mapping (OGM), a novel technique based on imaging of long DNA molecules labeled at specific sites, allows the identification of multiple cytogenetic abnormalities in a single test. We aimed to determine whether OGM is a suitable alternative to cytogenomic assessment in CLL, especially focused on genomic complexity. Cytogenomic OGM aberrations from 42 patients were compared with CBA, FISH, and CMA information. Clinical−biological characteristics and time to first treatment (TTFT) were analyzed according to the complexity detected by OGM. Globally, OGM identified 90.3% of the known alterations (279/309). Discordances were mainly found in (peri-)centromeric or telomeric regions or subclonal aberrations (<15−20%). OGM underscored additional abnormalities, providing novel structural information on known aberrations in 55% of patients. Regarding genomic complexity, the number of OGM abnormalities had better accuracy in predicting TTFT than current methods (C-index: 0.696, 0.602, 0.661 by OGM, CBA, and CMA, respectively). A cut-off of ≥10 alterations defined a complex OGM group (C-OGM, n = 12), which included 11/14 patients with ≥5 abnormalities by CBA/CMA and one patient with chromothripsis (Kappa index = 0.778; p < 0.001). Moreover, C-OGM displayed enrichment of TP53 abnormalities (58.3% vs. 3.3%, p < 0.001) and a significantly shorter TTFT (median: 2 vs. 43 months, p = 0.014). OGM is a robust technology for implementation in the routine management of CLL patients, although further studies are required to define standard genomic complexity criteria.

Cytogenetics in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: ERIC Perspectives and Recommendations. Hemasphere 2022; 6:e707. [PMID: 35392482 PMCID: PMC8984316 DOI: 10.1097/hs9.0000000000000707] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2021] [Accepted: 03/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Mounting evidence underscores the clinical value of cytogenetic analysis in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), particularly as it allows the identification of complex karyotype, that has recently emerged as a prognostic and potentially predictive biomarker. That said, explicit recommendations regarding the methodology and clinical interpretation of either chromosome banding analysis (CBA) or chromosome microarray analysis (CMA) are still lacking. We herein present the consensus of the Cytogenetic Steering Scientific Committee of ERIC, the European Research Initiative on CLL, regarding methodological issues as well as clinical interpretation of CBA/CMA and discuss their relevance in CLL. ERIC considers CBA standardized and feasible for CLL on the condition that standards are met, extending from the use of novel mitogens to the accurate interpretation of the findings. On the other hand, CMA, is also standardized, however, robust data on its clinical utility are still scarce. In conclusion, cytogenetic analysis is not yet mature enough to guide treatment choices in CLL. That notwithstanding, ERIC encourages the wide application of CBA, and potentially also CMA, in clinical trials in order to obtain robust evidence regarding the predictive value of specific cytogenetic profiles towards refining risk stratification and improving the management of patients with CLL.

Abstract
Genome complexity has been associated with poor outcome in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Previous cooperative studies established five abnormalities as the cut-off that best predicts an adverse evolution by chromosome banding analysis (CBA) and genomic microarrays (GM). However, data comparing risk stratification by both methods are scarce. Herein, we assessed a cohort of 340 untreated CLL patients highly enriched in cases with complex karyotype (CK) (46.5%) with parallel CBA and GM studies. Abnormalities found by both techniques were compared. Prognostic stratification in three risk groups based on genomic complexity (0-2, 3- 4 and ≥5 abnormalities) was also analyzed. No significant differences in the percentage of patients in each group were detected, but only a moderate agreement was observed between methods when focusing on individual cases (κ=0.507; P<0.001). Discordant classification was obtained in 100 patients (29.4%), including 3% classified in opposite risk groups. Most discrepancies were technique-dependent and no greater correlation in the number of abnormalities was achieved when different filtering strategies were applied for GM. Nonetheless, both methods showed a similar concordance index for prediction of time to first treatment (TTFT) (CBA: 0.67 vs. GM: 0.65) and overall survival (CBA: 0.55 vs. GM: 0.57). High complexity maintained its significance in the multivariate analysis for TTFT including TP53 and IGHV status when defined by CBA (hazard ratio [HR] 3.23; P<0.001) and GM (HR 2.74; P<0.001). Our findings suggest that both methods are useful but not equivalent for risk stratification of CLL patients. Validation studies are needed to establish the prognostic value of genome complexity based on GM data in future prospective studies.

Abstract
Several reports highlight the clinical significance of cytogenetic complexity, namely, complex karyotype (CK) identified though the performance of chromosome banding analysis (CBA) in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Indeed, apart from a number of studies underscoring the prognostic and predictive value of CK in the chemo(immune)therapy era, mounting evidence suggests that CK could serve as an independent prognosticator and predictor even in patients treated with novel agents. In the present review, we provide an overview of the current knowledge regarding the clinical impact of CK in CLL, touching upon open issues related to the incorporation of CK in the clinical setting.

Abstract
The knowledge of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has progressively deepened during the last forty years. Research activities and clinical studies have been remarkably fruitful in novel findings elucidating multiple aspects of the pathogenesis of the disease, improving CLL diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. Whereas the diagnostic criteria for CLL have not substantially changed over time, prognostication has experienced an expansion with the identification of new biological and genetic biomarkers. Thanks to next-generation sequencing (NGS), an unprecedented number of gene mutations were identified with potential prognostic and predictive value in the 2010s, although significant work on their validation is still required before they can be used in a routine clinical setting. In terms of treatment, there has been an impressive explosion of new approaches based on targeted therapies for CLL patients during the last decade. In this current chemotherapy-free era, BCR and BCL2 inhibitors have changed the management of CLL patients and clearly improved their prognosis and quality of life. In this review, we provide an overview of these novel advances, as well as point out questions that should be further addressed to continue improving the outcomes of patients.

Abstract
Simple Summary Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is characterized by a highly variable clinical course. Thus, predicting the outcome of patients with this disease is a topic of special interest. The rapidly changing treatment landscape of CLL has questioned the value of classical biomarkers and prognostic models. Herein we examine the current state-of-the-art of prognostic and predictive biomarkers in the setting of new oral targeted agents with special focus on the most controversial findings over the last years. We also discuss the available information on the role of “old” and “new” prognostic models in the era of oral small molecules. Abstract Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is an extremely heterogeneous disease. With the advent of oral targeted agents (Tas) the treatment of CLL has undergone a revolution, which has been accompanied by an improvement in patient’s survival and quality of life. This paradigm shift also affects the value of prognostic and predictive biomarkers and prognostic models, most of them inherited from the chemoimmunotherapy era but with a different behavior with Tas. This review discusses: (i) the role of the most relevant prognostic and predictive biomarkers in the setting of Tas; and (ii) the validity of classic and new scoring systems in the context of Tas. In addition, a critical point of view about predictive biomarkers with special emphasis on 11q deletion, novel resistance mutations, TP53 abnormalities, IGHV mutational status, complex karyotype and NOTCH1 mutations is stated. We also go over prognostic models in early stage CLL such as IPS-E. Finally, we provide an overview of the applicability of the CLL-IPI for patients treated with Tas, as well as the emergence of new models, generated with data from patients treated with Tas.

Abstract
Trisomy 3 has been previously reported in association with T-cell lymphomas and less commonly in different types of non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphomas. Trisomy 3 has also been reported in two cases of pediatric post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD). We present comprehensive clinicopathologic review of two pediatric patients with cardiac and liver/intestinal allografts that developed polymorphic PTLD characterized by trisomy 3. Both patients had Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) viremia and EBV was positive in tissue by EBER in situ hybridization. Using karyotype analysis and fluorescence in situ hybridization, we identified trisomy 3 in both patients. Both patients responded to treatment and are now free of the PTLD. Trisomy 3, an uncommon cytogenetic finding in pediatric polymorphic PTLD, may be a recurrent cytogenetic aberration if confirmed in a larger study of pediatric PTLDs. Further clinical follow up might help stratify significance of trisomy 3 as a prognostic factor.

Abstract
Karyotyping, the practice of visually examining and recording chromosomal abnormalities, is commonly used to diagnose diseases of genetic origin, including cancers. Karyotypes are recorded as text written in the International System for Human Cytogenetic Nomenclature (ISCN). Downstream analysis of karyotypes is conducted manually, due to the visual nature of analysis and the linguistic structure of the ISCN. The ISCN has not been computer-readable and, as such, prevents the full potential of these genomic data from being realized. In response, we developed CytoGPS, a platform to analyze large volumes of cytogenetic data using a Loss-Gain-Fusion model that converts the human-readable ISCN karyotypes into a machine-readable binary format. As proof of principle, we applied CytoGPS to cytogenetic data from the Mitelman Database of Chromosome Aberrations and Gene Fusions in Cancer, a National Cancer Institute hosted database of over 69,000 karyotypes of human cancers. Using the Jaccard coefficient to determine similarity between karyotypes structured as binary vectors, we were able to identify novel patterns from 4,968 Mitelman CML karyotypes, such as the co-occurrence of trisomy 19 and 21. The CytoGPS platform unlocks the potential for large-scale, comparative analysis of cytogenetic data. This methodological platform is freely available at CytoGPS.org.

Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most prevalent adult leukemia with high heterogeneity in the western world. Thus, investigators identified a number of prognostic biomarkers and scoring systems to guide treatment decisions and validated them in the context of immunochemotherapy. A better understanding of prognostic biomarkers, including serum markers, flow cytometry outcomes, IGHV mutation status, microRNAs, chromosome aberrations and gene mutations, have contributed to prognosis in CLL. Del17p/ TP53 mutation, NOTCH1 mutation, CD49d, IGHV mutation status, complex karyotypes and microRNAs were reported to be of predictive values to guide clinical decisions. Based on the biomarkers above, classic prognostic models, such as the Rai and Binet staging systems, MDACC nomogram, GCLLSG model and CLL-IPI, were developed to improve risk stratification and tailor treatment intensity. Considering the presence of novel agents, many investigators validated the conventional prognostic biomarkers in the setting of novel agents and only TP53 mutation status/del 17p and CD49d expression were reported to be of prognostic value. Whether other prognostic indicators and models can be used in the context of novel agents, further studies are required.

Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is a well-defined lymphoid neoplasm with very heterogeneous biological and clinical behavior. The last decade has been remarkably fruitful in novel findings elucidating multiple aspects of the pathogenesis of the disease including mechanisms of genetic susceptibility, insights into the relevance of immunogenetic factors driving the disease, profiling of genomic alterations, epigenetic subtypes, global epigenomic tumor cell reprogramming, modulation of tumor cell and microenvironment interactions, and dynamics of clonal evolution from early steps in monoclonal B cell lymphocytosis to progression and transformation into diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. All this knowledge has offered new perspectives that are being exploited therapeutically with novel target agents and management strategies. In this review we provide an overview of these novel advances and highlight questions and perspectives that need further progress to translate into the clinics the biological knowledge and improve the outcome of the patients.

Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is a common disease in Western countries and has heterogeneous clinical behavior. The relevance of the genetic basis of the disease has come to the forefront recently, with genome-wide studies that have provided a comprehensive view of structural variants, somatic mutations, and different layers of epigenetic changes. The mutational landscape is characterized by relatively common copy number alterations, a few mutated genes occurring in 10-15% of cases, and a large number of genes mutated in a small number of cases. The epigenomic profile has revealed a marked reprogramming of regulatory regions in tumor cells compared with normal B cells. All of these alterations are differentially distributed in clinical and biological subsets of the disease, indicating that they may underlie the heterogeneous evolution of the disease. These global studies are revealing the molecular complexity of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and provide new perspectives that have helped to understand its pathogenic mechanisms and improve the clinical management of patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Duvelisib, a first in class, oral, dual PI3 k-delta/gamma inhibitor recently received FDA approval for previously treated CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukemia)/SLL (small lymphocytic lymphoma) and follicular lymphoma. Data coming from the phase III 'DUO' trial, in fact, showed a superior progression-free survival (PFS) in CLL patients treated with duvelisib compared to ofatumumab. AREAS COVERED This review provides analysis of the mechanism of action of duvelisib and includes the rationale for the use of double inhibition. The authors also give their clinical experience with duvelisib. Overall, despite the high efficacy of the drug, some concern remains on duvelisib-related adverse events leading to treatment interruption in a significant proportion of patients. EXPERT OPINION Considering the unmet need of salvage therapies in patients failing BTK and/or Bcl2 inhibitors, treatment with duvelisib represents a new valid option in the CLL therapeutic armamentarium. Therefore, the correct management of adverse events with early treatment suspension, dose reductions and prompt supportive treatment could help to manage treatment, thus improving patient outcome. Finally, the association of duvelisib with other targeted therapies, such as ibrutinib or venetoclax, could allow clinicians to capitalize on the synergistic activity of these agents.

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia with Divergent Richter's Transformation into a Clonally Related Classical Hodgkin's and Plasmablastic Lymphoma: A Case Report. Case Rep Oncol 2020; 13:120-129.

Abstract
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) typically pursues a prolonged course. Its transformation into a more aggressive lymphoma occurs in 2-8% of all patients. Most commonly, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma develops. Transformation into a classical Hodgkin's lymphoma (cHL) occurs in <1%. Plasmablastic transformation has been only rarely reported. Cases of synchronous divergent transformation of CLL into a composite lymphoma are exceedingly rare. We describe the unique occurrence of the transformation of a long-standing CLL into a synchronous clonally related cHL as well as plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) in an 85-year-old female patient. After 10 years of asymptomatic CLL, our patient was treated with a rituximab-chlorambucil scheme in combination with pegfilgrastim for recurrent infections and the development of B symptoms. Five cycles (of six planned) were administrated with no adverse effects. After the fifth cycle, lymphadenopathy with pronounced B symptoms appeared. Histology showed the presence of cHL in the lymph node, while the bone marrow was infiltrated by PBL. Our patient died in sepsis not receiving further specific oncologic treatment due to her poor general condition. Additional cytogenetic and molecular studies showed that this was a case of mutated CLL with trisomies of chromosomes 12, 3, and 18 (a rare specific +12 plus other-non+19 CLL subgroup). The presence of trisomy 12 has also been proved in plasmablasts and in cHL cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) stratification mainly relies on FISH markers according to Döhner's hierarchical model which includes high-risk FISH markers, intermediate FISH, or low-risk FISH. Recently, complex karyotype (CK) has been demonstrated as an independent negative prognostic factor in CLL. METHODS A series of 1012 untreated CLL patients have been investigated with both FISH and chromosome banding analysis (CBA) on the same pellet obtained from interleukin IL-2-CPG DSP30 oligonucleotide-stimulated cultured cells. RESULTS Combining both FISH and CBA has led to refine prognostic categories with identification of 30% of CK in low-risk and intermediate FISH group. This raises the issue of switching them to a high-risk group. While this series confirmed the significant association between CK and high-risk FISH (P = .003), 33% of CK present no ATM or TP53 deletion. Three groups characterized by significant association between FISH markers and CBA have emerged: CK with TP53 loss and monosomy 15; CK with ATM loss and 14q32 translocation; and CK without ATM or TP53 losses but trisomies 12, 18, and 19 or t(14;18)(q32;q21). CONCLUSION We have observed that in addition to FISH analysis, the CBA allows detection of many abnormalities with potential impact on patient follow-up and treatment, mainly CK.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Complex karyotype (CK) is a heterogeneous category with a negative impact in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). Our group has recently reported that CK patients with major structural abnormalities (i.e. CK2) are characterised by a worse prognosis, as compared to other lesions within CK(CK1). METHODS We performed a multicentre retrospective study to test whether the combination of CK subtypes with IGHV status could be a relevant prognostic and predictive tool. RESULTS Among 522 patients 13% harboured CK2, 41% CK1 and/or U-IGHV (U-CK1) and 46% M-IGHV without any CK subtypes (M-noCK). After a median follow-up of 5.8 years, CK2 patients had the shortest TTFT (5-year TTFT 31%, 39 and 81%, p < 0.0001) and OS (5-year OS 67%, 85 and 93%, p < 0.0001) as compared to U-CK1 or M-noCK cases, regardless of TP53 abnormalities. CK2 patients also had the worst outcome after chemoimmunotherapy. In fact, the median TTNT after FCR or BR was 1.86 and 4.79 years for CK2 and U-CK1, but not reached for M-noCK patients (p < 0.0005). CONCLUSIONS We herein suggest that the combined assessment of the IGHV mutational status and CK subtypes refines the prognostication of CLL, allowing to identify M-IGHV patients without any CK subtypes who are characterised by an indolent disease and excellent outcome after chemoimmunotherapy.

Abstract
Cytogenetic examination and the detection of chromosomal aberrations in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is an integral part of prognostic stratification and treatment decisions. Improvements in cytogenetic methods, notably the introduction of the cell stimulation method, have led to the detection of chromosomal aberrations in 80% of CLL cases. A comprehensive analysis of cytogenetic aberrations recently showed that complex karyotypes (CKs) defined as the detection of either three or more or five or more chromosomal changes in a karyotype have a poor prognostic impact. The current efforts at the international level are focused on the goal of including CK assessment among prognostic markers for CLL patients at diagnosis as well as after treatment. This review of the literature documents the clinical importance of CK findings in CLL and the necessity of including this factor in other poor prognostic indicators.

Abstract
Recent evidence suggests that complex karyotype (CK) defined by the presence of ≥3 chromosomal aberrations (structural and/or numerical) identified by using chromosome-banding analysis (CBA) may be relevant for treatment decision-making in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). However, many challenges toward the routine clinical application of CBA remain. In a retrospective study of 5290 patients with available CBA data, we explored both clinicobiological associations and the clinical impact of CK in CLL. We found that patients with ≥5 abnormalities, defined as high-CK, exhibit uniformly dismal clinical outcomes, independently of clinical stage, TP53 aberrations (deletion of chromosome 17p and/or TP53 mutations [TP53abs]), and the expression of somatically hypermutated (M-CLL) or unmutated immunoglobulin heavy variable genes. Thus, they contrasted with CK cases with 3 or 4 aberrations (low-CK and intermediate-CK, respectively) who followed aggressive disease courses only in the presence of TP53abs. At the other end of the spectrum, patients with CK and +12,+19 displayed an exceptionally indolent profile. Building upon CK, TP53abs, and immunoglobulin heavy variable gene somatic hypermutation status, we propose a novel hierarchical model in which patients with high-CK exhibit the worst prognosis, whereas those with mutated CLL lacking CK or TP53abs, as well as CK with +12,+19, show the longest overall survival. Thus, CK should not be axiomatically considered unfavorable in CLL, representing a heterogeneous group with variable clinical behavior. High-CK with ≥5 chromosomal aberrations emerges as prognostically adverse, independent of other biomarkers. Prospective clinical validation is warranted before ultimately incorporating high-CK in risk stratification of CLL.

Abstract
The complex karyotype (CK) is an established negative prognostic marker in a number of haematological malignancies. After the introduction of effective mitogens, a growing body of evidence has suggested that the presence of 3 or more aberrations by conventional banding analysis (CBA) is associated with an unfavorable outcome in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Thus, the importance of CBA was recognized by the 2018 guidelines of the International Workshop on CLL, which proposed the introduction of CBA in clinical trials to validate the value of karyotype aberrations. Indeed, a number of observational studies showed that cytogenetic aberrations and, particularly, the CK may have a negative independent impact on objective outcome measures (i.e. time to first treatment, progression free survival, time to chemorefractoriness and overall survival) both in patients treated with chemoimmunotherapy and, possibly, in patients receiving novel mechanism-based treatment. Here, we set out to present the scientific evidence supporting the significance of CK as a prognostic marker in CLL and to discuss the biological basis showing that the CK is a consequence of genomic instability.

Abstract
Trisomy 12 (tri12) is the second most frequent chromosomal aberration (15%-20%) in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Tri12 confers an intermediate prognosis but is a heterogeneous entity. We examined whether additional mutational or chromosomal alterations might impact tri12 patient outcomes. This retrospective study, carried out by the French Innovative Leukemia Organization, included 188 tri12 patients with comprehensive information on immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGHV) gene status, karyotypic/FISH abnormalities, and NOTCH1, TP53, SF3B1, and MYD88 mutations. The main cytogenetic abnormalities associated with tri12 were del(13q) (25%), additional trisomies (14%) (including tri19 (10%) and tri18 (4%)), 14q32 translocations (10%), del(17p) (6.5%), del(14q) (4%), and del(11q) (4%). Unmutated (UM) IGHV, NOTCH1, and TP53, mutations were identified in respectively 66%, 25%, and 8.5% of cases. Multivariate analyses showed that additional trisomies (HR = 0.43, 95% CI = 0.23-0.78, P = .01) were associated with a significantly longer time to first treatment in Binet stage A patients and with a lower risk of relapse (HR = 0.37, 95% CI = 0.15-0.9, P = .03) in the overall tri12 population. Binet stage B/C, TP53 disruption, and UM IGHV status were associated with a shorter time to next treatment, while Binet stage B/C (HR = 4, 95% CI = 1.6-4.9, P = .002) and TP53 disruption (HR = 5, 95% CI = 1.94-12.66, P = .001) conferred shorter overall survival in multivariate comparisons. These data indicate that additional cytogenetic and mutational abnormalities, and particularly additional trisomies, IGHV status, and TP53 disruption, influence tri12 patient outcomes and could improve risk stratification in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Plasma cell myeloma (PCM) has been sporadically reported to occur simultaneously or subsequently to mature B lymphoproliferative disorders (LPDs), predominantly chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). METHODS We describe the clinical and laboratory findings of a 69-year-old male patient who developed plasma cell leukaemia (PCL) 8 years after an initial diagnosis of a low stage CD5+ B LPD and 3 years after treatment for LPD. RESULTS The transition from a clinically indolent B LPD to an aggressive PCM was documented by bone marrow (BM) biopsy, while flow cytometric (FC) immunophenotyping conferred additional information by disclosing the co-existence of both disorders in BM and the presence of abnormal monotypic PCs in peripheral blood above PCL levels. Phenotypic findings suggested a discrete clonal origin of the two disorders. CONCLUSIONS This report of PCL development in a patient with residual CD5+ B LPD, emphasizes the need for comprehensive diagnostic evaluation of such cases and scrutiny of their aetiological relationship, including FC immunophenotyping due to its high analytical sensitivity and multiparametric capacity compared to morphology or immunohistochemistry alone. © 2017 International Clinical Cytometry Society.

Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and complex karyotype show an adverse outcome even in absence of TP53/ATM FISH deletions. Oncotarget 2017; 8:54297-54303.

Abstract
Genomic complexity identified by chromosome banding analysis (CBA) predicts a worse clinical outcome in CLL patients treated either with standard or new treatments. Herein, we analyzed the clinical impact of complex karyotypes (CK) with or without high-risk FISH deletions (ATM and/or TP53, HR-FISH) in a cohort of 1045 untreated MBL/CLL patients. In all, 99/1045 (9.5%) patients displayed a CK. Despite ATM and TP53 deletions were more common in CK (25% vs 7%; P < 0.001; 40% vs 5%; P < 0.001, respectively), only 44% (40/90) patients with TP53 deletions showed a CK. CK group showed a significant higher two-year cumulative incidence of treatment (48% vs 20%; P < 0.001), as well as a shorter overall survival (OS) (79 mo vs not reached; P < 0.001). When patients were categorized regarding CK and HR-FISH, those with both characteristics showed the worst median OS (52 mo) being clearly distinct from those non-CK and non-HR-FISH (median not reached), but no significant differences were detected between cases with only CK or HR-FISH. Both CK and TP53 deletion remained statistically significant in the multivariate analysis for OS. In conclusion, CK group is globally associated with advanced disease and poor prognostic markers. Further investigation in larger cohorts with CK lacking HR-FISH is needed to elucidate which mechanisms underlie the poor outcome of this subgroup.
