Abstract excerpt
In this study, we analyzed the targeting of the somatic hypermutation (SHM) mechanism at specific hotspot sequence motifs in the V(H) and Vkappa genes of 10 follicular lymphoma (FL) cases and the Vkappa and Vlambda genes of 11 kappa- and six lamda-light chain expressing multiple myeloma (MM) cases. These sequences were analyzed for targeting of specific motifs, ie certain highly mutable trinucleotides (3-NTPs),...
