Abstract excerpt
The molecular genetic hallmark of mantle cell lymphomas (MCL) is the reciprocal translocation t(11;14)(q13;q32) which juxtaposes the bcl-1 proto-oncogene to one of the joining segments of the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene. This translocation is very common in MCL and occurs in up to 70% of these malignancies. Due to the aggressive nature of MCL, markers identifying tumor progression and clinical outcomes are...
