Homozygous Deletions at Chromosome 9p21 Involving p16 and p15 Are Associated With Histologic Progression in Follicle Center Lymphoma
15 Jun 1998
Abstract excerpt
Low-grade follicle center lymphoma (LGFCL) is characterized genetically by the t(14;18) translocation and an indolent clinical course. Histologic progression from LGFCL to an aggressive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLCL) occurs in 60% to 80% of cases, and this transformation is associated with the accumulation of secondary genetic alterations. Using 10 polymorphic microsatellite markers spanning the chromosome...
