Marker chromosome 14q+ in two non-Burkitt lymphomas.
Marker chromosome 14q+, similar to the specific marker of the Burkitt lymphoma, was revealed in all malignant blood cells of a patient with generalized lymphosarcoma, in all lymph node cells, and in a part of the blood cells of a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. Possible causes of this similarity are discussed.
