Abstract excerpt
Common-variable immunodeficiency (CVI) patients develop non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL), mainly B-lineage diffuse large-cell lymphomas (DLCL), with a high relative risk. The molecular pathogenesis of CVI-related NHL (CVI-NHL) is unknown. Here we aimed at providing a detailed molecular characterization of CVI-NHL. Rearrangements of BCL-6 were detected in two thirds of CVI-NHL cases examined. All 3 CVI-NHL also...
