The genetic basis of familial CLL is poorly understood and to date no gene which when mutated in the germline has been unambiguously shown to confer susceptibility to the disease. Dok1 maps to chromosome 2p13, a region commonly rearranged in CLL. Dok1 inhibits MAP kinase activity, down-regulates cell proliferation and has a suppressive effect on cellular transformation and B-cell signalling pathways. A recent...
