...we assessed for LPL deletion by fluorescence in situ hybridization in 176 consecutive CLL patients with 17p/TP53 deletion...LPL-del patients also showed a poorer overall survival (OS) compared with patients with LPL-nml (median OS, 236 months versus undefined, p < 0.001)...In summary, the data presented establish an association between LPL deletion, resistance to ibrutinib-based therapy, and poorer overall survival in TP53-deleted CLL patients.
