Abstract excerpt
A recurrent translocation, t(3;6)(q27;p21), in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma results in fusion of BCL6 with a particular histone H4 gene on 6p21. We cloned five H4/BCL6 junctions from both der(3) and der(6) chromosomes. The breakpoints on H4 were distributed within the single exon or close to the terminal palindrome, and those on BCL6 were localized within or close to the translocation hypercluster. Deletions or...
