Abstract excerpt
The t(2;14)(p13;q32.3) involving the BCL11A and IGH genes is a rare but recurrent chromosomal aberration in B-cell malignancies. Hitherto, juxtaposition of BCL11A and IGH has only been described in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) and immunocytoma. As subgroups of B-CLL can be distinguished by the pattern of somatic mutation of immunoglobulin variable (V) genes we investigated four lymphomas with...
