Abstract excerpt
B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling is crucial for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) biology. IGLV3-21-expressing B cells may acquire a single point mutation (R110) that triggers autonomous BCR signaling, conferring aggressive behavior. Epigenetic studies have defined 3 CLL subtypes based on methylation signatures reminiscent of naïve-like (n-CLL), intermediate (i-CLL), and memory-like (m-CLL) B cells with different...
