title: Absence of MALT1 translocations in primary cutaneous marginal zone B-cell lymphoma.
abstract: The implication of MALT1 gene in the pathogenesis of primary cutaneous marginal zone B-cell lymphomas (PCMZL) has been a matter of controversy. We examined the presence of MALT1 translocations in a series of 23 PCMZL. FISH assay with a MALT1 dual color break apart translocation probe revealed the absence of MALT1 translocations in all cases.
