Figure 1. Chromosomal locations of Vκ gene segments that were found in Vκ-Vκ rearrangements.
The Vκ gene segments that have been identified in 14 independent Vκ-Vκ rearrangements are shown, based on the positions of their Vκ gene segments in the germline locus. The color of the triangles is used to identify partners of a Vκ-Vκ fusion (partners share the same color and are listed in table 1). The direction of the triangles is used to denote the Vκ gene segment orientation in the germline κ locus, as described previously (Brekke and Garrard, 2004; Thiebe et al., 1999).
