Detection of the bcl-2 t(14;18) translocation and proto-oncogene expression in primary intraocular lymphoma.

abstract：PURPOSE:BetaIG-H3 is a TGF-beta-induced cell adhesion molecule, the mutations of which are responsible for a group of 5q31-linked corneal dystrophies. The characteristic findings in these diseases are accumulation of protein deposits of different ultrastructures. To understand the mechanisms of protein deposits in 5q31...
