Amplification of <i>IGH/MYC</i> fusion in clinically aggressive <i>IGH/BCL2</i>‐positive germinal center B‐cell lymphomas
25 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
Activation of an oncogene via its juxtaposition to the IGH locus by a chromosomal translocation or, less frequently, by genomic amplification is considered a major mechanism of B-cell lymphomagenesis. However, amplification of an IGH/oncogene fusion, coined a complicon, is a rare event in human cancers and has been associated with poor outcome and resistance to treatment. In this article are descriptions of two...
