Abstract excerpt
Recognition of biased immunoglobulin variable (IgV) gene usage in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) may yield insight into leukemogenesis and may help to refine prognostic categories. We explored Ig variable heavy (VH) and light (VL) chain gene usage in highly stable and indolent B-CLL (n=25) who never required treatment over 10 or more years. We observed an unexpectedly high usage of mutated VH3-72...
