Abstract excerpt
Inactivation of the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor gene (RB-1) has been associated with tumorigenicity in various human malignancies. In chronic lymphoid leukemias of B-cell origin (B-CLL) an involvement of RB-1 has been suggested based on cytogenetic data. We examined RB-1 and its chromosomal locus 13q14 in 35 cases of B-CLL by dual-color in situ hybridization to interphase nuclei and by G-banding analysis of...
