Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is heterogeneous with respect to prognosis and clinical outcome. Mutational status of immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region (IGHV) appears to be a particularly strong prognostic marker, but it is difficult to perform in a routine clinical laboratory. ζ-chain-associated protein kinase 70 kDa (ZAP-70) protein detected by flow cytometry is a strong surrogate marker...
