According to current guidelines, in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), only the TP53 molecular status must be evaluated prior to every treatment’s initiation. However, additional heterogeneous genetic events are known to confer a proliferative advantage to the tumor clone and are associated with progression and treatment failure in CLL patients. Here, we describe the implementation of a comprehensive targeted sequencing solution that is suitable for routine clinical practice and allows for the detection of the most common somatic single-nucleotide and copy number variants in genes relevant to CLL.We demonstrate that this cost-effective strategy achieves variant detection with high accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity. Furthermore, we identify somatic variants and copy number variations in genes with prognostic and/or predictive value, according to the most recent literature, and the tool provides evidence about subclonal events. This next-generation sequencing (NGS) capture-based target assay is an improvement on current approaches in defining molecular prognostic and/or predictive variables in CLL patients.
