Overview

NCI Definition: An indolent, mature B-cell neoplasm composed of small, round B-lymphocytes. When the bone marrow and peripheral blood are involved, the term chronic lymphocytic leukemia is used. The term small lymphocytic lymphoma is restricted to cases which do not show leukemic involvement of the bone marrow and peripheral blood. [1]

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphomas most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, SF3B1, NOTCH1, ATM, and SETDB2 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma

TP53 Mutation, SF3B1 Mutation, TP53 Missense, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, and ATM Mutation are the most common alterations in chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma [2].
