Extended Data Fig. 3: Clonal shifts and growth rates in untreated CLL patients.

a, The increase in the numbers of total (top), clonal (middle) and subclonal (bottom) drivers is associated with overall leukaemia growth patterns. P values were determined by Kruskal–Wallis test. b, A trend towards increased maximal change in the CCF of a driver event is observed between the first and last pre-treatment samples of a given patient based on growth pattern. P values were determined by Kruskal–Wallis test. c, Top, probability of having a carrying capacity K of WBC of less than 1,000 × 109 cells per litre (blue dots) for patients with logistic, indeterminate or exponential growth patterns. Bottom, growth rates (small circles) together with 70% credible intervals (lines) across the discovery and extension samples, ordered based on the probability of logistic growth with samples classified as displaying logistic, indeterminate or exponential growth.
