Pathogenetic and Clinical Implications of Non-Immunoglobulin; BCL6 Translocations in B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
1 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
Chromosomal translocations affecting band 3q27, where BCL6 gene is located, are among the most common genetic abnormalities in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of B-cell type (B-NHL). The BCL6 gene encodes a BTB/POZ zinc finger transcription factor, which exerts repressive activity by recruiting corepressor molecules. The 3q27/BCL6 translocation is unique in that it can involve not only immunoglobulin (Ig) genes but also...
