Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
In this prospective multicentric study, the University of Pavia together with the Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo, Pavia and the IRCCS Fondazione Maugeri, Pavia, Italy will provide a systematic analysis of gene mutations in hematological malignancies by using NGS techniques. Patients with a conclusive diagnosis of haematological malignancies according to WHO criteria referred to the Rete Ematologica Lombarda clinical network (REL, www.rel-lombardia.net) will be enrolled. The investigators will analyse genomic DNA extracted from hematopoietic cells at different time points of patient disease. The study contemplates the use of molecular platforms (Next Generation Sequencing, NGS) aimed at the identification of recurrent mutations in myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms, respectively. Screening of gene mutations by NGS will be prospectively implemented in the context of REL clinical network. Patient samples will be analyzed at diagnosis and sequentially during the course of the disease at specific timepoints. The researchers will analyze the correlations between somatic mutations, specific clinical phenotypes (according to the WHO classification) and disease evolution. This will allow to: 1) identify new recurrent genetic mutations involved in the molecular pathogenesis of hematological malignancies; 2) define the role of mutated genes, distinguishing between genes which induce a clonal proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells, and genes which determine the clinical phenotype of the disease; 3) identify mutations which are responsible for disease evolution; 4) define the diagnostic/prognostic role of the identified mutations, and update the current disease classifications and prognostic scores by including molecular parameters. A systematic biobanking of biological material will be provided.

- description
- Patients with a conclusive diagnosis of haematological malignancies according to WHO criteria referred to the Rete Ematologica Lombarda (REL) clinical network will be enrolled. The investigators will analyse genomic DNA extracted from hematopoietic cells at different time points of patient disease. The study contemplates the use of two optimized molecular platforms aimed at the identification of recurrent mutations in myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms, respectively. Screening of gene mutations by NGS will be prospectively implemented in the context of REL clinical network. Patient samples will be analyzed at diagnosis and sequentially during the course of the disease at specific timepoints.
