Abstract excerpt
Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) of B-cell lineage typically arises as a monoclonal expansion of committed B-lymphocyte precursors that are arrested at an immature stage of differentiation. From Southern hybridization analysis of immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) genes in leukaemic blasts, the occurrence of a sizeable minority of patients displaying multiple (greater than two) rearranged heavy chain alleles has...
