Abstract excerpt
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a distinct subentity of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, characterized by the chromosomal translocation t(11;14)(q13;q32) leading to an overexpression of cyclin D1 in virtually all cases. However, additional cytogenetic aberrations are apparent in the vast majority of MCL. Applying LOH analysis in 52 MCL patient samples, we confirmed frequent alterations in 9p21 (28.6%) and p53 (28.9%) but also...
