Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the IGH variable region in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) are associated with a favorable prognosis. Cytogenetic complexity (>3 unrelated aberrations) and translocations have been associated with an unfavorable prognosis. While mutational status of IGHV is stable, cytogenetic aberrations frequently evolve. However, the relationships of these features as prognosticators at diagnosis...
