Researchers in Barcelona have completed mapping the CLL genome and have found more than 500 alterations in the genome of people with CLL.

HERE'S THE MEDICAL PAPER published today in "nature medicine"

We have a lot to learn—if any of it is decipherable from the scientific/medical language/initials.

Good find--hopefully more explanations to come.

What I really don't like about these articles is how clearly they indicate my low level intelligence. After reading all 20 pages I realized I still wasn't sure what any of it meant. But I don't speak Spanish....oh, right it was in English.

It won’t take long a you can read articles in proper patient English, I guess. Sounds very encouraging.

Fantastic. Thank you Spain - and as a resident of a city that tends to be given a hard time by Spanish soccer clubs (I'm looking at you, Real), I don't say that lightly... ; )

The original link worked for me. I would love to add this to my library of horror except they want $32.00$$$ to download the PDF. I'm too broke to include it I guess.
