BIOMED‐2 PCR assays for IGK gene rearrangements are essential for B‐cell clonality analysis in follicular lymphoma
26 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
B-cell clonality analysis is commonly performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting the IGH genes although a high false-negative rate is recognized for germinal centre/post-germinal centre B-cell malignancies, especially follicular lymphoma. We assessed the diagnostic value of BIOMED-2 IGK assays and investigated the cause of IGH PCR failure in 77 patients with follicular lymphoma. Using the full set of...
