“…B cell mono/oligoclonal expansion of clones expressing VH subfamily gene segments other than VH1-69, such as VH3-7, VH3-21, VH3-23, VH3-30, VH4-34, VH3-48, and VH4-59, seems to be implicated in HCV-related lymphoproliferative disorders [75, 77, 100]. Moreover, as in the case of VH1-69, monoclonal expansion of B-cell clones expressing most of these VH subfamilies is a common feature of a wide variety of autoimmune disorders and lymphomas [75, 100, 101, 108].…”
