“Double-Hit” Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Involving the TP53 and MYC Genes

Abstract: Although the 17p deletion [del(17p)] is rare in cases of treatment-naive chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), its frequency is higher in refractory/relapsed CLL – particularly in patients undergoing chemo(immuno)therapy. TP53 disruption (deletion and/or mutation) is the strongest prognostic factor for refractoriness to chemotherapy; the use of Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors and BCL2 inhibitors is then indicated. Rare cases of CLL can also harbor translocation or gain of the MYC oncogene. “Double-hit CLL” (wi… Show more

“…However, it is crucial to note that existing studies are primarily retrospective cohorts, with most patients already undergoing treatment. Therefore, it is imperative to conduct further assessments of the TP53 mutational status to ascertain whether the poor prognosis is indeed a consequence of the combination of a TP53mut and not only del(17p) with a MYC aberration [ 21 ].…”

“…MYC oncogenic activation alone is usually not enough to induce neoplastic transformation. It has long been known that the loss of checkpoint proteins, such as p53 and PTEN, in parallel with MYC deregulation, contributes to the inability of the tumor cells to switch off MYC-driven metabolism and enforces cell expansion independent of growth factors and nutrient availability [ 46 , 47 , 48 , 131 , 132 ]. Similarly, since signaling pathways converge in MYC, for example, the overactivation of growth factor or mTOR signaling causes the upregulation of MYC and its modulated processes [ 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 131 ].…”

“…Although very rare, the translocation of the MYC proto-oncogene is also observed in CLL, mostly in association with the del 17p. MYC overexpression and TP53 deletion in these so-called 'Double-Hit' CLL are extremely high-risk in nature (reviewed in [35]).…”
