Abstract excerpt
Our aim was to examine the genetics of clonal evolution in follicular lymphoma (FL) and to identify genetic alterations associated with disease progression. A total of 100 biopsies from 44 patients diagnosed with t(14;18)-positive FL were examined by array comparative genomic hybridization. In 20 patients the patterns of somatic hypermutations (SHMs) in the variable region of heavy chain gene were additionally...
