| Clinics and Pathology |
| Disease | NHL |
| Phenotype / cell stem origin | follicular centrocytic-centroblastic lymphoma. |
| Epidemiology | only four cases available to date; all four patients were female; median age: 57 yr. |
| Cytogenetics |
| Cytogenetics Morphological | in all 4 cases, t(14;18)(q32;q21) was present; t(3;4)(q27;p13) may therefore be a secondary event. |
| Additional anomalies | deletion of 6q was also found in all 4 cases, either as a del(6q) or as a iso(6p); karyotypes were complex. |
| Genes involved and Proteins |
| Gene Name | BCL6 (B-Cell Lymphoma 6) |
| Location | 3q27.3 |
| Dna / Rna | 10 exons |
| Protein | nuclear protein; contains 6 zinc fingers (C2H2 type); transcription factor. |
| Gene Name | RHOH (Ras homolog gene family, member H) |
| Location | 4p14 |
| Protein | expressed in hemopoietic tissues; GTPase of the Ras superfamily; signal transduction. |
| Result of the chromosomal anomaly |
| Description | 5' RHOH - 3' BCL6 and 5' BCL6 - 3' RHOH, leading to two fusion transcripts. |
| Description | no fusion protein, but promoter exchange between both partner genes. |
| To be noted |
| Additional cases are needed to delineate the epidemiology of this rare entity: you are welcome to submit a paper to our new Case Report section. |
