Configuration of the immunoglobulin and T cell receptor gene regions in hairy cell leukemia and B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

abstract：:Large granular lymphocyte leukemia (LGLL) is a rare and chronic lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by the clonal expansion of LGLs. LGLL patients can be asymptomatic or develop cytopenia, mostly neutropenia. Somatic STAT3 and STAT5b mutations have been recently reported in approximately 40% of patients. The ai...
