Proper management of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients requiring therapy relies on two important prognostic and theranostic molecular features: respectively, the mutational status of tumoral cells immunoglobulin heavy chain variable domain (IGHV) and the characteristics of TP53. Both these (immuno)genetic analyses require multiple time-consuming amplification and sequencing techniques by Sanger or HTS. The capture-HTS technology, allowing to select regions of interest, represents an attractive alternative and has already been applied for the detection of clonality in lymphoproliferative disorders. Here, a single-step capture design was developed to concomitantly investigate for IGHV and TP53. This was applied to a training retrospective (n=14) and a validation prospective (n=91) cohorts of CLL patients. The training cohort demonstrated the robustness of the method by comparison with the classical Sanger sequencing technology (100% identical results) for the IGHV mutational status. This consistency was confirmed for the first 59 patients of the validation cohort. Overall, the IGHV status of whole population (n=103) was accurately identified. Simultaneously, deletion or mutations of TP53 were identified from the same capture-library and HTS-sequencing run for each patient. This novel approach provides, in a single assay, useful answers about the molecular landscape of CLL patients, allowing for a documented choice of therapy.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
