13q deletions in lymphoid malignancies
1 Sept 1995
Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have indicated that a candidate tumor suppressor gene resides telomeric of the RB1 gene at 13q14, a region that is commonly deleted in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). In this study, we have evaluated the frequency and minimal region of overlap for 13q deletions in malignant cells from various lymphoid neoplasms. We observed losses at 13q14 in 33/75 (44%) B-CLL cases, four of 16 (25%)...
