Table 2 Clinical significance of predictive biomarkers in chronic lymphocytic leukemia

From: Recent progress of prognostic biomarkers and risk scoring systems in chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Predictive biomarkers

Clinical significance

Del 17p/ TP53 mutation

Predicts poor response to chemo-immunotherapy

NOTCH1 mutation

Predicts poor response to anti-CD20 therapy

CD49d

Inhibits cell trafficking in the setting of novel BCR target therapy

IGHV mutation status

Gives its potential for long-term remission in the use of BCR in younger, fit patients with M-IGHV

Complex karyotypes

Predict poor response to chemo-immunotherapy when complex karyotypes with major structural abnormalities.

MicroRNAs

MiR-34a: associates with chemotherapy-refractory disease

MiR-155: predicts therapy response
