Popis: The poor prognosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients with del (17p) is well established. We analyzed whether mutation of TP53 on the remaining allele adds to the poor prognosis or whether even TP53 mutation alone may be an adverse prognostic factor. We analyzed TP53 mutations in 193 CLL patients by denaturing high performance liquid chromatography in combination with direct DNA sequencing and a TP53 resequencing research microarray. Mutations were correlated to chromosomal aberrations defined by interphase fluorescent in situ hybridization and chromosome banding analyses and to the clinical course of patients. TP53 mutations were detected in 13.5% (26 of 193) of samples, whereas the incidence of del (17p) was 9.3% (18 of 193). TP53 mutations were significantly associated with del (17p) (concordance 94%, P
