Nonimmunoglobulin (non-Ig)/BCL6gene fusion in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma results in worse prognosis than Ig/BCL6
15 Oct 2000
Abstract excerpt
Chromosomal translocation involving the BCL6 gene affects not only immunoglobulin (Ig) genes but also a number of non-Ig genes as partners. The molecular anatomy of the BCL6 gene rearrangements in 39 cases with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) by long-distance polymerase chain reaction-based assays was determined. The results showed that Ig genes were affected in 21 cases; non-Ig genes, 15 cases; a deletion...
