Abstract excerpt

The authors reviewed retrospectively the results of molecular genetic analysis of 175 hematolymphoid lesions to assess the diagnostic utility of genotyping (analysis for immunoglobulin or beta-chain T-cell receptor gene rearrangements). All cases had been genotyped, and most were also immunopheno...
