Abstract excerpt
The somatic hypermutation (SHM) status of the clonotypic, rearranged immunoglobulin heavy variable (IGHV) gene is an established prognostic and predictive marker in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Analysis of SHM is generally performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplification of clonal IGHV-IGHD-IGHJ gene rearrangements followed by sequencing to identify IGHV gene sequences and germline identity....
