Genomic abnormalities of TP53 define distinct risk groups of paediatric B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma
Children with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) have an excellent chance of survival, however, current clinical risk stratification places as many as half of patients in a high-risk group receiving very intensive chemo-immunotherapy. TP53 alterations are associated with adverse outcome in many mal...

Summary: | Children with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) have an excellent chance of survival, however, current clinical risk stratification places as many as half of patients in a high-risk group receiving very intensive chemo-immunotherapy.
TP53
alterations are associated with adverse outcome in many malignancies; however, whilst common in paediatric B-NHL, their utility as a risk classifier is unknown. We evaluated the clinical significance of
TP53
abnormalities (mutations, deletion and/or copy number neutral loss of heterozygosity) in a large UK paediatric B-NHL cohort and determined their impact on survival.
TP53
abnormalities were present in 54.7% of cases and were independently associated with a significantly inferior survival compared to those without a
TP53
abnormality (PFS 70.0% vs 100%,
