Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia - Blood Cell Study
B-CLL Subgroups: Maturation Stage and Gene Expression (GAC 0052)
Protocol ID
04-057/G
Protocol Description
This study will compare normal blood cells contained in samples from healthy volunteers to the samples of blood and bone marrow from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and other blood cell cancers. These studies will hopefully lead to an understanding of the causes of these diseases, as well as the tendency to develop infections and the inability of the immune system to fight off these infections.
Eligibility Criteria
Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and other blood cell cancers, healthy volunteers
