To investigate chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)-initiating cells, we assessed <i>NOTCH1</i> mutation/expression in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). In <i>NOTCH1-</i>mutated CLL, we detected subclonal mutations in 57% CD34+/CD38- HSCs. <i>NOTCH1</i> mutation was present in 66% CD34+/CD38+ progenitor cells displaying an increased mutational burden compared to HSCs. Flow cytometric analysis revealed significantly higher NOTCH1 activation in CD34+/CD38- and CD34+/CD38+ cells from CLL patients, reg ...[more]
