Abstract excerpt
The BCL-6 proto-oncogene is expressed in germinal center B lymphocytes, in their neoplastic counterparts, and in a subpopulation of germinal center and perifollicular T lymphocytes. Rearrangements and/or mutations of the 5' noncoding region of the bcl-6 gene have been demonstrated in a large majority of diffuse large B cell lymphomas. Some, but not all, of these genetic alterations lead to dysregulation of the...
