[Our data also provided new evidence supporting the prognostic relevance of separate IGHV genes or stereotyped BCR in CLL, namely: (a) a restricted non-mutated (UM) IGHV gene repertoire in CLL patients with autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) (more frequent expression of UM IGHV1-69, IGHV3-11 and IGHV4-59 genes, P = 0.001), a shorter period of AIHA development for expressors of these genes (P = 0.001) and a tendency towards expression of a stereotypic HCDR3 (P = 0.029), (b) a high incidence of second solid tumour development in IGHV3-21-expressing patients (P = 0.005) and (c) differences in overall survival (OS) of UM CLL patients depending on the BCR structure.].
