Abstract excerpt
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is characterized by the clonal expansion of CD5(+)CD23(+) B cells in blood, marrow, and second lymphoid tissues. Gene-expression profiling and phenotypic studies suggest that CLL is probably derived from CD5(+) B cells similar to those found in the blood of healthy adults. Next-generation sequencing has revealed recurrent genetic lesions that are implicated in CLL pathogenesis...
