Cases in which an additional nonfunctional VH gene sequence was detected.
In this case nucleotide insertions and deletions were detected.
The P value is the probability that excess (for CDR) or scarcity (for FR) of mutations occurred by chance. Statistically nonsignificant values (P > 0.05) are marked as NS. AT indicates abdominal tumor; CDR, complementary determining region; FR, framework region; LN, lymph node; MD, mediastinal tumor; NA, not applicable; NN, tissue not known; NP, nasopharynx; Rf, inherent susceptibility to R mutations of the FR or CDR; ST, soft tissue.
