Mutation analysis of the TNFAIP3 (A20) tumor suppressor gene in CLL.

Abstract excerpt

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells show constitutive nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) activation, which may have a pathogenetic role. The mechanisms causing this NF-κB activity are poorly understood. A20, encoded by the TNFAIP3 gene, is a repressor of the NF-κB pathway and was recently shown to be frequently inactivated by deletions and/or point mutations in several types of B-cell lymphomas. Here, we studied...
