Deregulated over expression of FOXP1 protein in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma does not occur as a result of gene rearrangement

Haematologica. 2007 Jun;92(6):863-4. doi: 10.3324/haematol.10656.

Abstract

Strong uniform expression of FOXP1 protein occurs in a subgroup of non-germinal centre (GC) diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL). We have investigated gene rearrangement as a potential mechanism for deregulated expression of FOXP1 however, using FISH FOXP1 translocations were not found in any case with over-expression of the protein.
