Members of the BCL-2 gene family are well known for their role in the pathogenesis of B-cell lymphomas in humans and in mouse models. A recent report that knockout mice deficient for the proapoptotic BCL-2 family member gene BAD frequently develop B-cell lymphomas prompted us to analyze a large collection of human B-cell lymphomas for inactivating mutations in the BAD gene. All 3 exons of the BAD gene were...
