Aims of the study • To determine gene expression profiles linked to ZAP70 expression using Affymetrix technology • To find genes associated with prognosis but also with biology • To confirm differentially expressed microRNA and link them to TFS and OS

Conclusions • ZAP70 + and – patients : distinc gene expression profiles • new prognostic factors : genes and microRNA • new potential therapeutic target • gene set implicated in migration and adhesion • ZAP70 + : better adhesion and migration capacities into their microenvironment • Better survival of ZAP70 + cells and the agressiveness of the disease
