A newly constructed map of the landscape of genetic changes in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), a type of cancer of the blood and bone marrow that exists in diverse forms and arises from various causes, provides a better understanding of this complex malignancy that could lead to more accurate prognoses for patients, improved diagnostics, and novel treatments. The work is published in Nature Genetics and was conducted by an international collaboration of investigators, including teams from the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, the Mass General Cancer Center, and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
