Abstract excerpt
Five cases of primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBL) each have been studied with 375 microsatellite markers from all 22 autosomes. Of the 151 genomic alterations among the 1,875 assays, only five were allelic losses. The remainder of the microsatellite alterations consisted of 114 allelic imbalances and 32 instabilities. Microsatellite alterations were found in all cases on chromosomal arms 6p and 9p. These...
