Abstract excerpt
Primary mediastinal (thymic) B-cell lymphoma is a high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with unique features. By using comparative genomic hybridization and interphase cytogenetics, 26 tumors were analyzed to identify genomic imbalances. Gains of chromosomal material were much more frequent than losses (110 v 10) and involved chromosomes 9p, 12q, and Xq (31% to 50%). Interestingly, gain of Xq coincided with gain of...
