Moreau score has been used to differentiate chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) from other mature B-cell neoplasms. However, it showed limitations in Asian patients. Therefore, we conducted a new score system replacing CD5 and CD23 with CD43 and CD180 to evaluate its diagnostic value of CLL. 237 untreated samples diagnosed with mature B-cell neoplasms were collected and were randomly divided into an exploratory and a validation cohort by a 2:1 ratio. The expression of CD5, CD19, CD20, CD23, CD43, CD79b, CD180, CD200, FMC7, and surface immunoglobulin (SmIg) were analyzed among all the samples. A proposed score was developed based on the logistic regression model. The sensitivity and specificity of the proposed score were calculated by ROC curves. CD43/CD180, CD200, FMC7, and CD79b were included in our new CLL score, which showed a sensitivity of 91.8% and a specificity of 83.1%. These results were confirmed in a validation cohort with a sensitivity of 90.5% (p = 0.808) and a specificity of 79.5% (p = 0.639). In CD5 negative or CD23 negative CLL group, the new CLL score displayed improved sensitivity of 79.4% compared to Moreau score and CLLflow score (41.2% and 47.1%, respectively). In atypical CLL group, the new CLL score showed improved sensitivity of 84.2% compared to Moreau score and CLLflow score (61.4% and 64.9%, respectively). This proposed atypical CLL score helped to offer an accurate differentiation of CLL from non-CLL together with morphological and molecular methods, particularly in Chinese patients with atypical immunophenotype.
