Abstrakt: Recent studies highlighted genetic aberrations associated with prognosis in Mantle Cell lymphoma (MCL), yet comprehensive testing is not implemented in clinical routine. We conducted a comprehensive genomic characterization of 180 patients from the European MCL network trials by targeted sequencing of peripheral blood DNA using the EuroClonality(EC)-NDC assay. The IGH::CCND1fusion was identified in 94% of patients, clonal IGH-V-(D)-J rearrangements in all, and 79% had ≥1 somatic gene mutation. The top mutated genes were ATM, TP53, KMT2D, SAMHD1, BIRC3and NFKBIE. Copy number variations (CNVs) were detected in 83% of patients with RB1, ATM, CDKN2A/Band TP53being the most frequently deleted and KLF2, CXCR4, CCND1, MAP2K1and MYCthe top amplified genes. CNVs and mutations were more frequently observed in older patients with adverse impact on prognosis. TP53mut, NOTCH1mut, FAT1mutTRAF2del, CDKN2A/Bdeland MAP2K1ampwere linked to inferior failure-free (FFS) and overall survival (OS), while TRAF2mut, EGR2deland BCL2amprelated to inferior OS only. Genetic complexity (≥3 CNVs) observed in 51% of analysed patients was significantly associated with impaired FFS and OS. We demonstrate that targeted sequencing from peripheral blood and bone marrow reliably detects diagnostically and prognostically important genetic factors in MCL patients, facilitating genetic characterization in clinical routine.
