Whether the leukaemia's antibody gene has been 'edited' by the immune system. Unmutated means faster-growing CLL and a bigger benefit from targeted drugs over chemotherapy.
IGHV genes with <2% deviation from germline are 'unmutated' (~40-50% of CLL) and predict shorter time to treatment and poor response to chemoimmunotherapy (FCR). BTK inhibitors and venetoclax combinations largely erase the difference for progression, and IGHV status is a stratification factor in every modern CLL trial (CLL13, AMPLIFY). Mutated-IGHV patients still achieve the longest remissions after fixed-duration therapy.
