Abstract excerpt
BMI1, a Polycomb-group gene located at 10p12.2, is implicated in the pathogenesis of a variety of tumors. However, the genetic molecular mechanisms underlying its aberrant expression in cancer cells remain largely unknown. In this study, we show that BMI1 is recurrently targeted by chromosomal aberrations in B-cell leukemia/lymphoma. We identified a novel t(10;14)(p12;q32)/IGH-BMI1 rearrangement and its IGL...
