RESUMO

UNLABELLED: To evaluate real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay system for detection of NOTCH1 c.7541_754delCT mutation in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 325 CLL patients were included in the study. Screening for NOTCH1 c.7544_7545delCT was performed using conventional PCR-based amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) method. All 33 samples harboring c.7544_7545delCT allele and 5 negative cases as control were submitted to real-time PCR. RESULTS: Specificity and sensitivity of two PCR techniques were comparable. NOTCH1 c.7544_7545delCT mutation was found by ARMS in 10.1% of CLL patients, which is consistent with the data of other studies. However, the results of ARMS PCR in a minority of cases (2.15%) were doubtful and required reinvestigation. Real-time PCR, being less time-consuming, showed advantage in the assessment of the amplification's specificity (using the melting curve analysis). It also allows the quantitative assessment of NOTCH1-mutated clone. CONCLUSION: NOTCH1 c.7544_7545delCT mutation resulting in removal of the C-terminal PEST domain, deregulation of NOTCH1-dependent signaling pathways, has negative influence on prognosis of CLL and efficiency of therapy with anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies. Real-time PCR allows the fast and reliable detection of c.7544_7545delCT mutation and can be used for the screening of this molecular lesion in CLL patients.

RESUMO

UNLABELLED: Defects in the tumor suppressor gene TP53 are known to be important in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and TP53 inactivation is associated with a particularly aggressive form of the disease. The single nucleotide polymorphism in the TP53 gene at codon 72 (rs1042522), results in amino acid substitution influencing apoptotic potential of TP53 protein. The aim of the study was to evaluate the association of the TP53 codon 72 polymorphism and incidence of TP53 mutations in CLL patients. METHODS: 261 CLL samples were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing for TP53 mutations and single nucleotide polymorphism. RESULTS: The 72Pro/Pro genotype was associated with an increased incidence of TP53 mutations in previously treated patients (OR = 2.503; 95% CI 1.142-5.487; р = 0.001). CONCLUSION: This study revealed that the TP53 codon 72 polymorphism may be used as a risk factor for incidence of TP53 mutations in CLL.
