Abstract excerpt
We have studied a diverse group of lymphoproliferative disorders (acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and myeloma) to determine if V kappa gene use is random or disease-specific and whether somatic mutations (a late event in B-cell differentiation) can provide additional information on the type of B cell involved in the neoplastic clone. In this...
