Frequency of Chromosomal Aberrations Involving MALT1 in Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphoma in Patients with Sjogren’s Syndrome
15 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma develops in the context of longstanding antigenic stimulation such as infection with Helicobacter pylori or autoimmune disease, including Sjögren's syndrome (SS). Recently, two chromosomal aberrations involving the MALT1 gene, i.e., t(11;18)(q21;q21) and t(14;18)(q32;q21) have been reported as genetic events specific for MALT lymphoma. In view of the...
