LincRNA‐p21 and the paraspeckle‐enriched lncRNA NEAT1 are involved in the induction of cell death after DNA damage16; however, we recently observed that the expression of NEAT1 is quite heterogeneous in B cells derived from CLL patients irrespectively of cytogenetic groups or clinical outcome.17 This evidence concerns the gene NEAT1 and B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
