The article offers information on the advancement in the process of diagnosis, prognosis,
and treatment of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL). It mentions that high
expression of zeta-chain-associated protein kinase 70 (ZAP-70) and unmutated
immunoglobulin heavy variable (IGHV) genes are considered poor factors for prognosis. It
informs that NOTCH1 and PEST mutations are considered as marker of poor prognosis in a
minority of B-CLL patients.
