IV analysis included 29,328 participants (4,611…

High-risk subtypes of chronic lyphocytic leukemia are detectable as early as 16 years prior to diagnosis

Igualdad, Investigación, Mujeres EASP

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is preceded by monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (MBL), a CLL precursor state with a prevalence of up to 12% in aged individuals. However, the duration of MBL and the mechanisms of its evolution to CLL remain largely unknown. In this study, we sequenced the B-cell receptor immunoglobulin heavy chain (BcR IGH) gene…
