Overview
B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) represents a heterogeneous disease with variable prognosis. Clinical staging systems (Rai, Binet) fail to accurately predict the prognosis of individual patients, especially in early stages. Modern prognostic markers, mainly the mutational status of the variable regions of immunoglobulin heavy chains (IgVH) and genetic aberrations, allow better risk stratification. Assessment of the expression of intracellular protein tyrosine kinase ZAP-70 represents not only a potential surrogate marker for the technically difficult and routinely unavailable assessment of the IgVH mutational status, but might also be an independent prognostic factor. Study of ZAP-70 function in B-cells has broadened our knowledge on the pathogenesis of B-CLL. Routine ZAP-70 assessment has been hindered so far mainly by the lack of harmonization and standardization of the available methods of detection.
