Whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing in chronic lymphocytic leukemia: new biomarkers to target.
2020
Many biomarkers indicate prognosis in chronic lymphocytic leukemia; such as fluorescence in situ hybridization testing: 17p or 11q deletions have a worse prognosis than trisomy 12, 13q deletion or normal result, or the mutational status of the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGHV): unmutated IGHV have a worse prognosis than mutated IGHV. Recently, many gene mutations (TP53, NOTCH1 etc.,) have been linked to a worse prognosis. With the new era of high-throughput sequencing, it has become easier to study gene mutations and their implication in predicting prognosis. In this review, we aim to review all the studies that performed whole-exome sequencing or whole-genome sequencing on chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells and explore the implication of various genes in disease prognosis.
