Detection of the chromosomal translocation t(11;14) by polymerase chain reaction in mantle cell lymphomas
1 Apr 1994
Abstract excerpt
The t(11;14)(q13;q32) and its molecular counterpart, BCL1 rearrangement, are consistent features of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Rearrangement is thought to deregulate the nearby CCND1 (BCL1/PRAD1) proto-oncogene, a member of the cyclin G1 gene family, and thereby to contribute to tumorigenesis. We and others have previously shown that the BCL1 locus is rearranged in 55% to 60% of MCL patients and that, on...
