No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.
This session will include studies investigating CLL origin and driver function, including progression of CLL to Richter transformation. Mechanistic insights will be provided by new studies on patient-derived samples and murine models of disease. Novel insights into the role of clonal hematopoiesis in CLL and transformation will also be presented.
