Using 2 complementary functional precision medicine techniques — BH3 profiling and high-throughput kinase activity mapping — we found that hyperphosphorylation of BCL-2 family proteins, including antiapoptotic myeloid leukemia 1 (MCL-1) and BCL-2 and proapoptotic BCL-2 agonist of cell death (BAD) and BCL-2 associated X, apoptosis regulator (BAX), underlies functional mechanisms of both intrinsic and acquired resistance to venetoclax in CLL and DLBCL. Here, BCL2 is linked to B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
