The V Hgene segments contain three framework regions (FR) and two complementarity determining regions (CDR). The FRs are characterized by their similarity among the various V Hsegments, whereas the CDRs are highly different even within the same V Hfamily. The CDRs represent the preferred target sequences for somatic hypermutations; however, somatic mutations can also occur in the FRs. Therefore, family-specific primers in the three different FRs were designed to increase the detection rate of clonal IGH B-cell populations and decrease the occurrence of false-negative results due to somatic hypermutation in primer binding sites. 1This assay is based on the EuroClonality/BIOMED-2 Concerted Action BMH4-CT98-3936.Figure Legend: Simple representation of the organization of a rearranged immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) gene on chromosome 14 and the immunoglobulin kappa light chain gene on chromosome 2p11.2. Black arrows represent the relativepositions of primers that target the conserved framework regions (FR1-3) and the downstream consensus J Hgene segments for IGH and the V, J, INTR and K deprimers which are included in the IGK master mix tubes.96Invivoscribe 2021|97'
