CARMA1 and chromosomal translocations in extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphomas of MALT type or diffuse large B-cell lymphomas

Haematologica. 2006 Nov;91(11):1575-6. Epub 2006 Oct 17.

Abstract

We analyzed the configuration of the CARMA1 gene, encoding a protein that closely interacts with BCL10 and MALT1, in a series of 120 extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphomas of MALT-type and 35 diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. Our study suggests that CARMA1 is not targeted by chromosomal translocations in these lymphoma entities.
