Clinical impact of acquired alterations of DDR genes in hematologic malignancies

Gene alterationMalignancyTTFTResponse to treatmentPFS and OS
ATM (del/mut) CLL Shorter TTFT44  Lower ORR to chemotherapy in patients with biallelic defect (P = .002).45 No impact on ORR with venetoclax-obinutuzumab treatment.46  Reduced PFS (HR, 4.4) and OS (HR, 2.4) with chemotherapy.45  
TP53 (del/mut) CLL Shorter TTFT (HR, 1.98)23  Lower ORR to chemotherapy (P = .001).47 No impact on ORR with targeted treatment including venetoclax-obinutuzumab,46 AVO,48 and IVO.49  Reduced PFS (TP53 del: HR, 3.3; TP53 mut: HR, 3.8) and OS (del: HR, 2.1; mut: HR, 7.2) with chemotherapy.47,50 Reduced PFS with venetoclax-obinutuzumab (del: HR, 4.4; mut: HR, 3.1).46 Reduced PFS with IVO in patients with bialleic compared with monoalleic defect (P < .001).49  
 MDS/AML Shorter time to AML transformation in MDS with multihit TP53 alterations (HR, 3.0)51  Resistance to small molecule inhibitors35  TP53 alterations reduce OS in patients with complex karyotype29,52 or in younger patients (P < .001)53  
 CML BC — — Reduced OS in patients with TP53 deletion or biallelic TP53 alterations (P < .001)30  
 MCL — — Reduced PFS (HR, 3.8) and OS (HR, 4.0; P < .001)24  
 DLBCL — — Reduced OS with TP53 alterations and high BCL2 expression (P < .001)26  
 MM — — Reduced PFS with TP53 alterations, APOBEC signature, and HRR defect28  
DYRK1A (mut) CLL — — Reduced OS (univariate HR, 4.3; multivariate HR, 2.79)23  
PALB2 (del) AML — — Reduced OS (2 mos vs 16.2 mos, P < .01)34  
SAMHD1 (expression) AML — Reduced SAMHD1 expression in patients with CR after Ara-C (P < .001)54  Reduced PFS and OS in high SAMDH1 expressors (P < .001)54
