  2. 3rd Educational Workshop on Immunoglobulin Gene Analysis in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia 24-25 September, 2009, Thessaloniki, Greece Target audience: Workshop for scientists interested to learn more about immunoglobulin gene analysis in CLL. Structure: This two-day educational workshop will comprise a mixture of lectures and tutorials held by experts in the field on immunoglobulin gene interpretation in CLL. • Topics covered during the workshop: • Latest recommendations on IGHV gene mutational status • IG gene interpretation and troubleshooting • New bioinformatics tools • Trouble cases in clinical routine • Stereotyped B-cell receptors in CLL Scientific committee: ChrysoulaBelessi (Greece)Frederic Davi (France)Paolo Ghia (Italy)Marie-PauleLefranc (France)Richard Rosenquist (Sweden)Kostas Stamatopoulos (Greece)

Program at a glance 24 September 2009Session I – IG genes in CLL: biological and clinical aspects Mechanisms of IG diversity The IG as a key player in CLL ontogeny Clinical relevance of IG gene analysis in CLL Session II – IG genes in CLL: technical aspects From the patient to the sequence: primers, PCR, detection of clonality, sequencing Online tools for interpretation of IG sequences and navigation through the IMGT web-resources Session III – Interpretation of IG sequences (tutorial) How to use the IMGT/V-QUEST tool? Basic exercises I Basic exercises II 25 September 2009 Session IV – Interpretation of IG sequences: ”trouble” cases (tutorial and interactive session) Introduction to ”trouble” casesExercises Session V – Ig analysis in clinical routineERIC recommendations How to report Ig gene data in clinical routine?Cases difficult to categorize - how to handle them? Session VI – IG gene analysis: new challenges, new approaches IG genes in CLL – what´s next? Open interactive session All tutorials include a theoretical background followed by computer-based exercises, guided case presentations and solving of trouble cases.
