Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Immunoglobulin heavy chain variable-region (VH) gene mutation status and zeta-associated protein 70 (ZAP-70) expression are correlated in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), but their concordance is variable. The goal of this study was to elucidate additional factors potentially characterizing their discordance. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We evaluated ZAP-70 expression by flow cytometry, VH status by DNA...
