Data are number of patients (percentage of subgroup), unless otherwise indicated. CLL-IPI, according to International CLL-IPI Working Group.29 CLL-IPI A: TP53 mutations >10% VAF considered as TP53 defect. CLL-IPI B: All TP53 mutations, irrespective of VAF, considered as a TP53 defect.

NA, not available; TTFT, time to first treatment.

*

All groups were mutually compared. Only significant comparisons are shown.

Based on 98% identity threshold.

More than 1 clone with discordant mutational status detected.
