Mantle cell lymphoma is an aggressive B-cell lymphoma for which the biology is incompletely understood. Previous studies have reported that somatic hypermutation of the variable region of the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene (V(H)), as commonly defined as <98% homology, can be detected in approximately one-third of mantle cell lymphoma, although the V(H) mutation status has not been found to significantly...
