Abstract:Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the most common indolent form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma arising from malignant germinal center (GC) B-cells. The genetic hallmark that leads to the development of FL is the t(14:18) which occurs early in the bone marrow during B cell development, thereby placing the anti-apoptotic BCL2 gene under the direct control of the transcriptional enhancers in 3’ of immunoglobulin heavy chain locus (IgH 3’RR) and leading to the constitutive expression of the BCL2 protein. To assess the impact o… Show more
