典型与不典型免疫表型慢性淋巴细胞白血病的预后相关因素分析

Objective To analyze the proguostic factors for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with typical and atypical immunophenotype. The parameters analyzed included sex, age, Binet stages, abso-lute lymphocyte count (ALC), immunoglobulin heavy-chain variable region (IgVH) gene mutation status, ZAP-70 protein, CD38 expression and cytogenetic aberrations. Methods According to the clinical guideline and scoring system for CLL in Britain, among 77 patients, 61 patients with score 5 called typical immunophe-notype CLL, 16 with score 4 or 3 were atypical immunophenotype CI,L. Multiparameter flow cytometry was employed for immunophenotypic analysis in 77 CLL patients for CD5, CD19, CD23, FMC7, slg, CD20, CD79h expression and ZAP-70 protein and CD38. IgVH mutation status was detected by multiplex RT-PCR and sequencing of the purified PCR amplification products. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and a panel of probes were used to detect cytogenetic aberrations. Results There was no significant difference be-tween the two groups in sex, age, ZAP-70 and IgVH mutation status (P =0.398, P =0. 189, P =0.268 and P =0. 131, respectively). The incidence of ALC≥50 × 109/L, Binet B + C, CD38 ≥30% in atypical CLL patients(43.8%, 87.5% and 43.8%, respectively) were higher than that in typical group (16.4%, 36.1% and 16.4%, respectively) (P = 0. 026, P < 0. 01 and P = 0. 026, respectively). The proportion of typical patients (26. 8%) with a 13q14 deletion as sole abnormality was higher than that of atypical patients (7.6%), and that with deletion of 11q22 or 17p13 was lower than that of atypical patients (12.2% vs 46.2%) (P = 0. 022). Conclusion There were obvious differences between the typical immunophenotype CLL and atypical CLL in ALC, Binet stages, CD38 expression level and cytogenetic aberrations.
