Andrea Visentin, MD, PhD, University of Padua, Padova, Italy, outlines a study assessing the impact of complex karyotype subtypes on the risk of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) evolution into Richter’s syndrome (RS). The study identified variables associated with a higher risk of developing RS and created an RS scoring system to forecast the risk of developing RS.
