Detection of t(2;5) in Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma
1 Nov 1999
Abstract excerpt
Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is associated with the t(2;5)(p23;q35) translocation involving the anaplastic lymphoma kinase gene (ALK) and the nucleophosmin gene (NPM), which result in expression of a novel fusion protein, NPM-ALK (p80).
