The constant region of the human immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGHC) is encoded by a cluster of genes near the telomere of chromosome 14q. Deletions and duplications of single or multiple genes in the cluster have been identified, but little information about the breakpoint junctions has been availabl

A unique case with diffuse mixed malignant lymphoma was investigated for gene rearrangement on the level of T-cell receptor (TCR), heavy chain immunoglobulin (Ig), and both light chains. Cell phenotype was examined with immunofluorescence techniques using antibodies against surface immunoglobulins (
