Description Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is characterized by an extremely variable clinical course, in which deletions of TP53 and ATM , regulators of the DNA-damage response (DDR-) pathway, are powerful predictors for adverse outcome and response to chemotherapy (Dohner et al , 2000). Deletions of chromosome 17p ( TP53 ) and 11q ( ATM ) coincide with TP53 and ATM mutations respectively, however with mark- edly different frequencies (80% and 40% respectively; Mal- cikova et al , 2009; Navrkalova et al , 2013). Sole TP53 mutations and deletions usually lead to TP53 (p53) dysfunc- tion (Mohr et al , 2011) and, in case of deletions in ATM ,a mutation of the residual ATM allele determines whether there is complete ATM inactivation resulting in TP53-dys- function (Navrkalova et al , 2013). Therefore, analysis of mutations in TP53 and ATM genes in addition to fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis is of additional clinical value (Skowronska et al , 2012). However, mutational analysis of TP53 and ATM is currently not standardized and is chal- lenging, especially for ATM due to extreme gene size with lack of well-characterized mutations (Navrkalova et al , 2013)
