title: [Gene level diagnosis in malignant lymphoma].
abstract: Malignant lymphoma is a diverse group of clonal proliferative disorders derived from immature and mature lymphoid cells. Each subtype of lymphoma is defined according to a combination of morphology, immunophenotype, genetic features and clinical syndromes. Accordingly, based on our practical experience in the laboratory-oncologic point of view, the role, clinical significance, applications and laboratory issues for testing or interpretation of gene level examination in practical oncology of lymphoma are reviewed.
