Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas are especially suited for analysis by _____ b/c of a # of recurrent, non-random chromosomal aberrations, grouped as 1) molecular translocations, 2) numberical chromosomal aberrations and 3) gene deletions.   show
🗑
centromeric probes in FISH can be used to detect ________ chromosomal aberrations   show
🗑
show Cells do not need to be proliferated for FISH. Low mitotic rate of indolent or low-grade NHL is not a problem for FISH.  
🗑
show p53  
🗑
show True  
🗑
show C-MYC  
🗑
show BCL-2  
🗑
NHL: Mantle cell lymphoma is usually t(11;14)(q13;q32) involving BCL-1 which stands for __ and the immunoglobulin heavy-chain gene locus on chromosome 14q32.   show
🗑

🗑
show It is in the BCL1 locus and its exon uninterrupted with translocated to 14q32. It serves drive the progression from G1 to S and drives cells to proliferate when it comes under control of the immunoglobulin regulatory sequences.  
🗑
show common  
🗑
