Clinical course of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) depend on rs966221 PDE4D gene’s polymorphism and mutational status of variable heavy chain genes (IGHV) was studied in 126 patients. It was found that genotype TT was associated with lower effectiveness of second line therapy (p=0.03), more frequent development of autoimmune anemia (p=0.09), expecially in unmutated IGHV genes (p=0.012) and more frequent development of cytopenias after chemotherapy (p=0.073). But, the differences in CLL course in carrieis of CC genotype, the frequency of which differed depend on radiation anamnesis of patients, were not revealed.
Key words: Chornobyl NPP accident, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, ionizing radiation, rs966221 PDE4D gene’s polymorphism.
