Abstract excerpt
Deletion of the short arm of chromosome 9p involving the beta 1-interferon (IFN) gene has been implicated in the process of malignant transformation in lymphomas and acute lymphoblastic leukemias. Since cytogenetic analysis is frequently unsuccessful in clinical samples, we used a recently descri...
