Chromosomal translocations involving BCL6 in MALT lymphoma.
Overview
abstract
Chromosomal translocations involving BCL6 were detected in 7 out of 392 cases of MALT lymphoma by interphase fluorescence in situ hybridisation with a BCL6 break-apart probe. With the exception of BCL6 protein expression in 2 of the 7 cases, these BCL6 translocation-positive MALT lymphomas were histologically and immunophenotypically identical to classic cases.
