The Cryptic inv(2)(p23q35) Defines a New Molecular Genetic Subtype of ALK-Positive Anaplastic Large-Cell Lymphoma
15 Oct 1998
Abstract excerpt
Recently, a distinctive entity characterized by expression of the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) protein [most frequently due to the t(2;5)(p23;q35)-associated NPM-ALK fusion] has emerged within the heterogenous group of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) classified as anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL). Sporadic variant 2p23/ALK abnormalities identified in ALK-positive ALCL indicate that genes other than NPM may...
