To help clarify the nature of the clonal lymphoid infiltrates, we analysed the usage and somatic hypermutation of the Ig heavy chain variable region (<jats:italic>V<\/jats:italic><jats:sub><jats:italic>H<\/jats:italic><\/jats:sub>) genes in nine different cases. The <jats:italic>V<\/jats:italic><jats:sub><jats:italic>H<\/jats:italic><\/jats:sub> rearrangement was potentially functional in all cases and was restricted to the <jats:italic>V<\/jats:italic><jats:sub><jats:italic>H<\/jats:italic><\/jats:sub><jats:italic>3<\/jats:italic> family. <jats:italic>V<\/jats:italic><jats:sub><jats:italic>H<\/jats:italic><\/jats:sub> usage was biased toward <jats:italic>V<\/jats:italic><jats:sub><jats:italic>H<\/jats:italic><\/jats:sub><jats:italic>3\u201030<\/jats:italic> (five cases) and <jats:italic>V<\/jats:italic><jats:sub><jats:italic>H<\/jats:italic><\/jats:sub><jats:italic>3\u201023<\/jats:italic> (three cases) segments, which have both been frequently expressed by autoimmune B cells. Somatic hypermutation was absent in five cases. Fewer than the expected replacement mutations were found in the framework regions in two cases, indicating a negative antigen selection pressure. Ongoing mutation was absent in all cases. <jats:italic>D<\/jats:italic> segment usage was varied, whereas <jats:italic>J<\/jats:italic><jats:sub><jats:italic>H<\/jats:italic><\/jats:sub> segment usage was restricted to <jats:italic>J<\/jats:italic><jats:sub><jats:italic>H<\/jats:italic><\/jats:sub><jats:italic>4<\/jats:italic>. The observed patterns of <jats:italic>V<\/jats:italic><jats:sub><jats:italic>H<\/jats:italic><\/jats:sub> usage and mutations suggested that specific antigens may play a pathologically relevant role in the genesis or progression of thymic MALT lymphoma.
