Infrequent "chronic lymphocytic leukemia-specific" immunoglobulin stereotypes in aged individuals with or without low-count monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis.

The assessment of the relation between the size of the MBL clone and the level of clonality (Spearman rho correlation coefficient) showed a positive trend, in line with previous studies showing a lower frequency of oligoclonality along the spectrum from LC-MBL to HC-MBL and, eventually, CLL. 9 However, results were not statistically significant ( P =0.18), perhaps because of the small size of the cohort.
