Abstract excerpt
This study of 52 European patients with Hodgkin's disease (HD) expressing the latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) oncogene within diagnostic Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells was performed to detect LMP1 isolates carrying deletions and to characterize them at a molecular and histologic level. Deletions were identified in 5 cases, clustered near the 3' end of the LMP1 gene, and histologically associated with...
