Relation between frequency of dominant T-cell clones in the peripheral blood and patient age
| T-cell clones . | Age < 60 y (n = 169), no. (%) of patients . | Age > 60 y (n = 194), no. (%) of patients . | P value on χ2 test . |
|---|---|---|---|
| Detected in PB but not in skin | 38 (22) | 76 (39) | .002 |
| Identical in PB and skin | 20 (12) | 26 (13) | .8 |
