Somatic hypermutation profile

Select SHM profile from the Views list to see a histogram that represents the data. Immune repertoire analysis results report the frequency of somatic hypermutation (SHM) over the variable gene portion of each clone of a given isotype. This view is available only for the Oncomine™ BCR IGH‑LR Assay and Oncomine™ BCR IGH‑SR Assay.

Somatic hypermutation (SHM) is determined through a calculation of the number of mismatches between a clone variable gene sequence and the closest matching IMGT® variable gene allele.
