Tγδ large granular lymphocyte leukemia (Tγδ LGLL) is a rare lymphoproliferative neoplasm characterized by the expansion of T large granular lymphocytes expressing γδ TCR. Here, based on deep sequencing analysis of the clonotype repertoire, the authors show that leukemic Tγδ cells are characterized by recurrent public clonotypes that are diversified between symptomatic and asymptomatic patients.
