Abstrakt: Genetic heterogeneity and co-occurring driver mutations impact clinical outcomes in blood cancers, but predicting the emergent effect of co-occurring mutations that impact multiple complex and interacting signalling networks is challenging. Here, we used mathematical models to predict the impact of co-occurring mutations on cellular signalling and cell fates in diffuse large B cell lymphoma and multiple myeloma. Simulations predicted adverse impact on clinical prognosis when combinations of mutations induced both anti-apoptotic (AA) and pro-proliferative (PP) signalling. We integrated patient-specific mutational profiles into personalised lymphoma models, and identified patients characterised by simultaneous upregulation of anti-apoptotic and pro-proliferative (AAPP) signalling in all genomic and cell-of-origin classifications (8-25% of patients). In a discovery cohort and two validation cohorts, patients with upregulation of neither, one (AA or PP), or both (AAPP) signalling states had good, intermediate and poor prognosis respectively. Combining AAPP signalling with genetic or clinical prognostic predictors reliably stratified patients into striking prognostic categories. AAPP patients in poor prognosis genetic clusters had 7.8 months median overall survival, while patients lacking both features had 90% overall survival at 120 months in a validation cohort. Personalised computational models enable identification of novel risk-stratified patient subgroups, providing a valuable tool for future risk-adapted clinical trials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
