Alternative Name
Deletion 1p36
Methodology
FISH
Test Description
Probes: TNFRSF14 (1p36)
Disease(s): Follicular Lymphoma (FL)
Clinical Significance
The TNFRSF14 (1p36) deletion test is used for the detection of deletion of the TNFRSF14 gene at chromosome 1p36.32. The 2017 WHO classification of lymphoid neoplasms recognizes diffuse follicular lymphomas negative for BCL2 translocation harboring a 1p36 aberration as a unique variant.
