Bcl-6 (LAZ-3) and Bcl-2 gene rearrangements have been respectively reported in 20-35 per cent and 10-25 per cent of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs). Although these genetic lesions have been associated with different clinical outcomes (i.e., more favourable in Bcl-6 rearranged cases and poore
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND In Western populations, rearrangement of the __BCL__โ6 gene can be identified in 20โ40% of patients with diffuse large Bโcell lymphoma (DLBCL). Analysis of the __BCL__โ6 gene has revealed the presence of point mutations or small deletions in 70% of DLBCL tumors; however,
