Abstract excerpt
The 3p14.2 chromosome region, which contains the FHIT gene and the FRA3B fragile site, is frequently altered in carcinomas. We analyzed the expression of the FHIT gene in 21 Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines and normal lymphoid populations. Seventeen (80%) of these cell lines had a common aberrant FHIT transcript as well as the normal transcript. Exon 2 was often aberrantly spliced to several coding exons, skipping...
