Abstract:
What's new? The prognostic significance of the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) translocation in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is controversial and its mutational profile remains unknown. Here, the authors assessed for the first time the genetic landscape of CLL patients with IGH rearrangements by targeted next‐generation sequencing, characterising recurrently‐mutated genes with prognostic implications and demonstrating that these entities exhibit an intermediate mutational profile between CLL and non‐Hodgkin lymphoma. Moreover, the findings showed that the incorporation of next‐generation sequencing and the IGH‐probe in the CLL‐fluorescence in situ hybridisation panel used in clinical routine could be useful, especially for elucidating prognosis in normal FISH cases.
