Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The translocation t(14;18)IgH/BCL2 is the molecular hallmark of follicular lymphomas (FL). A subset of cases harbours translocations involving the BCL6-gene locus. This study aimed to determine the frequency of BCL2- and BCL6-translocations in FL and to identify morphological and immuno-histochemical features with respect to the presence of BCL2- and BCL6-translocations. MATERIALS AND METHODS:...
