RESUMO

The potential prognostic influence of genetic aberrations on chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) can vary based on various factors, such as the immunoglobulin heavy variable (IGHV) status. We conducted an integrative analysis on genetic abnormalities identified through cytogenetics and targeted next-generation sequencing in 536 CLL patients receiving first-line chemo(immuno)therapies (CIT) as part of two prospective trials. We evaluated the prognostic implications of the main abnormalities, with specific attention to their relative impact according to IGHV status. In the entire cohort, unmutated (UM)-IGHV, complex karyotype, del(11q) and ATM mutations correlated significantly with shorter progression-free survival (PFS). Focusing on the subset of mutated IGHV (M-IGHV) patients, univariate analysis showed that complex karyotype, del(11q), SF3B1 and SAMHD1 mutations were associated with significant lower PFS. The prognostic influence varied based on the patient's IGHV status, as these abnormalities did not affect outcomes in the UM-IGHV subgroup. TP53 mutations had no significant impact on outcomes in the M-IGHV subgroup. Our findings highlight the diverse prognostic influence of genetic aberrations depending on the IGHV status in symptomatic CLL patients receiving first-line CIT. The prognosis of gene mutations and cytogenetic abnormalities needs to be investigated with a compartmentalized methodology, taking into account the IGVH status of patients receiving first-line BTK and/or BCL2 inhibitors.

RESUMO

While Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) is characterized by an almost unifying mutation in MYD88, clinical presentation at diagnosis and response to therapy can be widely different among WM patients. Current prognostic tools only partially address this clinical heterogeneity. Limited data compiling both molecular and cytogenetic information have been used in risk prognostication in WM. To investigate the clinical impact of genetic alterations in WM, we evaluated cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities by chromosome banding analyses, FISH and targeted NGS in a retrospective cohort of 239 WM patients, including 187 patients treated by first-line chemotherapy or immunochemotherapy. Most frequent mutations were identified in MYD88 (93%), CXCR4 (29%), MLL2 (11%), ARID1A (8%), TP53 (8%), CD79A/B (6%), TBL1XR1 (4%) and SPI1 (4%). The median number of cytogenetic abnormalities was two (range, 0-22). Main cytogenetic abnormalities were 6q deletion (del6q) (27%), trisomy 4 (tri4) (12%), tri18 (11%), del13q (11%), tri12 (7.5%) and del17p (7%). Complex karyotype (CK) was observed in 15% (n = 31) of cases, including 5% (n = 12) of highly CK (high-CK). TP53 abnormalities (TP53abn) were present in 15% of evaluable patients. TP53abn and del6q were associated with CK/high-CK (p < .05). Fifty-three percent of patients with hyperviscosity harbored CXCR4 mutations. Cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities did not significantly impact time to first treatment and response to therapy. Prognostic factors associated with shorter PFS were del6q (p = .01), TP53abn (p = .002) and high-CK (p = .01). These same factors as well as IPSSWM, tri4, CXCR4 frameshift and SPI1 mutations were significantly associated with lower OS (p < .05). These results argue for integration of both cytogenetic and molecular screening in evaluation of first-line WM patients.

RESUMO

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a heterogeneous disease, the prognosis of which varies according to the cytogenetic group. We characterized a rare chromosomal abnormality (del(8p), deletion of the short arm of chromosome 8) in the context of CLL. By comparing the largest cohort of del(8p) CLL to date (n = 57) with a non-del(8p) cohort (n = 155), del(8p) was significantly associated with a poor prognosis, a shorter time to first treatment, worse overall survival (OS), and a higher risk of Richter transformation. For patients treated with fludarabine-based regimens, the next-treatment-free survival and the OS were shorter in del(8p) cases (including those with mutated IGHV). One copy of the TNFRSF10B gene (coding a pro-apoptotic receptor activated by TRAIL) was lost in 91% of del(8p) CLL. TNFRSF10B was haploinsufficient in del(8p) CLL, and was involved in the modulation of fludarabine-induced cell death - as confirmed by our experiments in primary cells and in CRISPR-edited TNFRSF10B knock-out CLL cell lines. Lastly, del(8p) abrogated the synergy between fludarabine and TRAIL-induced apoptosis. Our results highlight del(8p)'s value as a prognostic marker and suggest that fit CLL patients (i.e. with mutated IGHV and no TP53 disruption) should be screened for del(8p) before the initiation of fludarabine-based treatment.

RESUMO

Usher syndrome (USH), the most prevalent cause of hereditary deafness-blindness, is an autosomal recessive and genetically heterogeneous disorder. Three clinical subtypes (USH1-3) are distinguishable based on the severity of the sensorineural hearing impairment, the presence or absence of vestibular dysfunction, and the age of onset of the retinitis pigmentosa. A total of 10 causal genes, 6 for USH1, 3 for USH2, and 1 for USH3, and an USH2 modifier gene, have been identified. A robust molecular diagnosis is required not only to improve genetic counseling, but also to advance gene therapy in USH patients. Here, we present an improved diagnostic strategy that is both cost- and time-effective. It relies on the sequential use of three different techniques to analyze selected genomic regions: targeted exome sequencing, comparative genome hybridization, and quantitative exon amplification. We screened a large cohort of 427 patients (139 USH1, 282 USH2, and six of undefined clinical subtype) from various European medical centers for mutations in all USH genes and the modifier gene. We identified a total of 421 different sequence variants predicted to be pathogenic, about half of which had not been previously reported. Remarkably, we detected large genomic rearrangements, most of which were novel and unique, in 9% of the patients. Thus, our strategy led to the identification of biallelic and monoallelic mutations in 92.7% and 5.8% of the USH patients, respectively. With an overall 98.5% mutation characterization rate, the diagnosis efficiency was substantially improved compared with previously reported methods.
