Massive evolution of the immunoglobulin heavy chain locus in children with B precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia
30 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
The ability to distinguish clonal B-cell populations based on the sequence of their rearranged immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) locus is an important tool for diagnosing B-cell neoplasms and monitoring treatment response. Leukemic precursor B cells may continue to undergo recombination of the IgH gene after malignant transformation; however, the magnitude of evolution at the IgH locus is currently unknown. We...
