Abstract excerpt
The clinical course of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is highly variable. Immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region (IgHV) mutation status is among the most important prognostic factors, with unmutated IgHV associated with inferior outcomes. CLL presumably arises from mature B cells. However, we hypothesized that IgHV unmutated CLL could arise early in B cell differentiation. We prospectively studied 29...
