Abstract excerpt

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has unique epidemiologic, biologic, and clinical features. The progressively emerging picture leads us to consider that the critical genes for malignant CLL cells are those regulated by a number of microRNAs revealed by refined cytogenetic and molecular studies, and that the key molecule is the B-cell receptor (BCR). The hypothesis that CLL cells might be selected by some sort...
