Abstract excerpt
Minimal residual disease (MRD) assessment is of high clinical relevance in patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). In mature B-cell malignancies, the presence of somatic hypermutations (SHM) in Variable-Diversity-Joining Heavy chain (VDJH) rearrangements leads to frequent mismatches between primers, probes, and the target, thus impairing tumor cells quantification. Alternative targets, such as immunoglobulin...
