Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The pathogenesis of several subtypes of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is associated with specific genetic lesions involving oncogenes and tumor-suppressor genes. These lesions include c-myc translocation and p53 inactivation in small noncleaved-cell lymphoma, and bcl-2 and bcl-1 translocation in follicular (FL) and mantle-zone lymphoma, respectively. Relatively little is known, however, about the...
