Leukemia
|May 1, 1990
Summary
Researchers identified a specific chromosomal translocation, t(3;22)(q28;q11), in three patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). This finding may help define a distinct subtype of diffuse large cell NHL.
Area of Science:
- Hematology
- Oncology
- Cytogenetics
Background:
- Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is a heterogeneous group of lymphoid malignancies.
- Chromosomal abnormalities are common in NHL and can aid in classification and prognosis.
- Identifying specific translocations can refine our understanding of NHL subtypes.
