Abstract:
We observed novel transformations of follicular lymphoma (FL), first, a switch in immunoglobulin (Ig) light chain, and second, transformation of FL to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Each set of tumors shared a common clonal origin, as demonstrated by expression of identical, unique CDR IIIH sequences, shared somatic mutations in JH, and identical bcl-2 translocation breakpoints of microdissected ALL cells. Molecular analysis of lambda V-gene expression demonstrated lambda-bearing cells in t...     »
