T-cell clonality is detected in a high frequency among patients with incidental lymphocytosis by PCR assays for TCR gene rearrangements

Abstract

AimsClonal expansion of lymphocytes may account for asymptomatic lymphocytosis. Unlike monoclonal B lymphocytosis, the detection of T-cell clones is difficult using immunophenotype-based assays. This study aimed to evaluate PCR-based clonality...
