CBL mutations in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia often occur in the RING domain with multiple subclones per patient: Implications for targeting. by Kelly Lim, Winnie L Kan, Pramod C Nair, Monika Kutyna, Angel F Lopez, Timothy Hercus, David M Ross, Steven Lane, Chun Yew Fong, Anna Brown, Agnes Yong, David Yeung, Timothy Hughes, Devendra Hiwase, Daniel Thomas

“…Interestingly, 64% of patients presented with more than one CBL variant implying a complex subclonal architecture, often with co-occurrence of TET2 mutations. We found CBL mutations in CMML frequently clustered in the RING domain in contrast to JMML, where mutations frequently involve the linker helix region (P<0.0001). …”
