" /> Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma with Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Variable-Region Gene Somatic Hypermutation - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma with Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Variable-Region Gene Somatic Hypermutation;

NCIt synonyms : Postgerminal Center Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma; CLL/SLL with IGVH SHM; Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma with Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Variable-Region Gene Somatic Hypermutation;

NCIt definition : A recently recognized variant of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) expressing somatic hypermutations of the Immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) genes. The recognition of this variant alters the belief that CLL/SLL is always derived from a naive, pregerminal center B-cell. The presence of somatic hypermutations of IGH genes occurs in approximately 50% of CLL/SLL cases and implies a postgerminal center, memory origin. Patients with this variant of CLL/SLL have a favorable prognosis, with a reported median survival of more than 24 years.;

Neoplastic status : Malignant;
