Chromosome gains and losses used for risk stratification in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) are commonly assessed by multiprobe fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies. We designed and validated a customized array-comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) platform as a clinical assay for CLL genomic profiling. A 60-mer, 44,000-probe oligonucleotide array with a 50-kb average spatial resolution was augmented with high-density probe tiling at loci that are frequently aberrant in CLL. Aberrations identified by aCGH were compared with those identified by a FISH panel, including locus-specific probes to ATM (11q22.3), the centromeric region of chromosome 12 (12p11.1–q11), D13S319 (13q14.3), LAMP1 (13q34), and TP53 (17p13.1). In 100 CLL samples, aCGH/FISH concordance was seen for 89% of FISH-called aberrations at the ATM (n = 18), D13S319 (n = 42), LAMP (n = 12), and TP53 (n = 22) loci and for chromosome 12 (n = 14). Eighty-four percentage of FISH/aCGH discordant calls were in samples either at or below the limit of aCGH sensitivity (10% to 25% FISH aberration-containing cells). Therefore, aCGH profiling is a feasible routine clinical test with comparable results to multiprobe FISH studies; however, it may be less sensitive than FISH in cases with low-level aberrations. Further, a customized array design can provide comprehensive genomic profiling with additional accuracy in both identifying and defining the extent of small aberrations at target loci.
