This study is trying to find out more about the causes of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and to identify genes that may be important in the development of this cancer.
There are a few known risk factors for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. We know that CLL can run in families, but so far we haven’t found any specific gene changes that are linked to CLL.
In this study, the researchers will look at the genes of a large number of people who have chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). They will also ask them about their family history.
The aim of the study is to identify genes that could increase the risk of CLL.
Recruitment start: 1 December 1999
