Abstract excerpt
Roughly 25% of human B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemias (CLL) are characterized by a chromosomal lesion involving 13q14. This region contains the retinoblastoma gene (RB1). We have used a variety of techniques to determine whether RB1 or some other locus is the critical region in 11 cases of low grade B-cell malignancy (mainly CLL), all with deletions or translocations involving 13q14. In all cases, except the...
