摘要
In Western countries B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common form of leukemia. Evidence from epidemiological studies and family studies strongly supports the notion that a subset of CLL involves inherited susceptibility. Identification of genes predisposing to CLL should be useful for diagnosis and treatment, as well as serving as a model for B-cell tumorigenesis in general. Here, we review the current status of knowledge about inherited susceptibility to CLL. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
