Beschreibung:
The molecular pathogenesis of diffuse large-cell lymphoma (DLCL), the most frequent and clinically relevant type of lymphoma, is unknown. A gene was cloned from chromosomal translocations affecting band 3q27, which are common in DLCL. This gene, BCL-6, codes for a 79-kilodalton protein that is homologous with zinc finger-transcription factors. In 33 percent (13 of 39) of DLCL samples, but not in other types of lymphoid malignancies, the BCL-6 gene is truncated within its 5' noncoding sequences, suggesting that its expression is deregulated. Thus, BCL-6 may be a proto-oncogene specifically involved in the pathogenesis of DLCL.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ye, B H -- Lista, F -- Lo Coco, F -- Knowles, D M -- Offit, K -- Chaganti, R S -- Dalla-Favera, R -- CA 44029/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA 48236/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- EY 06337/EY/NEI NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Oct 29;262(5134):747-50.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pathology, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York, NY 10032.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8235596" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
