Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to PCR-based clonality studies for among others early diagnosis of lymphoproliferative disorders. Provided is a set of nucleic acid amplification primers comprising a forward primer, or a variant thereof, and a reverse primer, or a variant thereof, capable of amplifying a rearrangement selected from the group consisting of a VH-JH IGH rearrangement, a DH-JH IGH rearrangement, a VK-JK IGK rearrangement, a VK/intron-Kde IGK rearrangement, a Vlambda-Jlambda IGL rearrangement, a Vbeta-Jbeta TCRB rearrangement, a Dbeta-Jbeta TCRB rearrangement, a Vgamma-Jgamma TCRG rearrangement, a Vdelta-Jdelta TCRD rearrangement, a Ddelta-Ddelta TCRD rearrangement, a Ddelta-Jdelta TCRD rearrangement, a Vdelta-Ddelta TCRD rearrangement, or a translocation selected from t(11; 14)(BCL1-IGH) and t(14;18)(BCL2-IGH). The primers can be used in PCR-based clonality studies for early diagnosis of lymphoproliferative disorders and detection of minimal residual disease (MRD). Also provided is a kit comprising at least one set of primers of the invention.
