A Novel Chromosomal Translocation t(4; 14)(p16.3; q32) in Multiple Myeloma Involves the Fibroblast Growth-Factor Receptor 3 Gene
15 Nov 1997
Abstract excerpt
Chromosomal translocations involving the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) locus at chromosome 14q32 represent a common mechanism of oncogene activation in lymphoid malignancies. In multiple myeloma (MM), the most consistent chromosomal abnormality is the 14q+ marker, which originates in one third of cases through a t(11; 14)(q13; q32) chromosomal translocation; in the remaining cases, the identity of the partner...
