Benefits of technology

[0012]Further, the above object may be performed using a sample containing previously extracted mRNA (e.g., a mRNA bank), thereby obviating the need to obtain a cellular sample and, thus, an object of the present invention includes a method of identifying a subject with a significant probability of having chronic lymphocytic leukemia in a subject in need thereof by determining the gene expression levels of LPL and ADAM29 in a sample containing mRNA and designating the subject as having a significant probability of having chronic lymphocytic leukemia when expression of at least one of LPL and ADAM29 is detected in said sample.
[0017]The present invention provides a method of allowing accurate estimation of the prognosis in a patient having chronic lymphocytic leukemia, by designating the subject as having a significant probability of having an aggressive form of the disease if there is overexpression of the LPL gene or an indolent form of the disease if there is overexpression of ADAM29 gene.

Problems solved by technology

However, the disease in half of these patients will progress and both staging systems fail to initially identify such patients.
This analysis remains costly, time-consuming and inaccessible for most medical facilities.

LPL and ADAM29 are Better Surrogate Markers for IgVH Mutational Status than SPG20 and NRIP1

[0162]LPL, SPG20, ADAM29 and NRIP1 were first evaluated in an initial series of 71 patients. The present inventors quantified the expression of these 4 genes on total lymphocytes, since preliminary experiments in five patients showed similar results as compared to purified leukemic cells (data not shown). For each gene, the present inventors determined which expression levels could best segregate UM from MT patients using Youden's and validity indexes. Results showed that overall LPL and ADAM29 performed better than SPG20 and NRIP1 to predict UM and MT IgVH profiles respectively (Table 3). The concordance rate was 83% for ADAM29, 77% for LPL, 65% for SPG20 and 45% for NRIP1.

Reproducibility of LPL and ADAM29 Quantification

[0164]Since LPL and ADAM29 appeared to better reflect the IgVH mutational status, the present inventors evaluated the reproducibility of their quantification by RQ-PCR. This was done by comparing results obtained from replicate samples for 4 patients, 2 overexpressing LPL and 2 overexpressing ADAM29. For each patient, 4 replicates were analyzed during the same reaction run (intra-run variability), and this was repeated on 3 different days (inter-run variability). The overall variability of these 12 replicates is shown in Table 4. Of note, intra-run variability was always smaller than overall variability, with CV being less than 0.5% for LPL and less than 1.1% for ADAM29 (data not shown).

Abstract

The present invention provides methods of diagnosis and prognosis of human chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in a patient in need thereof and methods to determine IgVH mutational status. The methods of the present invention involve measuring the expression profile of two known genes: LPL and ADAM29; and comparing the ratio of their expression to diagnose the presence of CLL or to prognose the likelihood of developing CLL or the symptoms consistent with CLL.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention provides methods of diagnosis and prognosis of human chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in a patient in need thereof. The methods of the present invention involve measuring the expression profile of two known genes: LPL and ADAM29; and determining the ratio of their expression to diagnose the presence of CLL or to prognose the likelihood of developing CLL, an aggressive or a stable form of the disease or the symptoms consistent with CLL.[0003]2. Discussion of the Background[0004]Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) displays a variable outcome. The classical Rai1 or Binet2 staging systems have allocated CLL cases into three major risk groups (low [stage 0 in Rai's and stage A in Binet's classification system], intermediate [stages I and II in Rai's and stage B in Binet's classification system], and high [stage III and IV in Rai's and stage C in Binet's classification system]), according to tumor burde...
