Hepatitis E virus - key points for the clinical haematologist.

abstract：:The bcl-2 gene is rearranged in most cases of follicular lymphoma and the breakpoint clusters into two specific regions: mbr and mcr. Rearrangements to immunoglobulin heavy chain genes (IgH) result in a deregulation of the gene and increased transcription of mRNA for the bcl-2 protein. In chronic lymphocytic leukaemia...
