The strongest prognostic factor in chronic B-cell lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the mutational status of the immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region (IGHV) genes. Determination of this mutational status is laborious and therefore not applied in routine diagnostics. A search for "surrogate markers" has been conducted over the past few years. One of the most promising surrogate markers is ZAP70, but...
