Abstract excerpt
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is an indolent, B-cell, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with varying cytological appearance and clinical behavior. The genetic hallmark of FL is the t(14;18) translocation, and as a germinal center derived entity it is also characterized by somatic hypermutation of the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) gene. In an attempt to correlate this molecular signature with the cytological grading of FL, we...
