V(D)J-mediated Translocations in Lymphoid Neoplasms: A Functional Assessment of Genomic Instability by Cryptic Sites
7 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
Most lymphoid malignancies are initiated by specific chromosomal translocations between immunoglobulin (Ig)/T cell receptor (TCR) gene segments and cellular proto-oncogenes. In many cases, illegitimate V(D)J recombination has been proposed to be involved in the translocation process, but this has never been functionally established. Using extra-chromosomal recombination assays, we determined the ability of...
