Clinical Significance
BCL6/MYC translocation is observed recurrently in high-grade B-cell lymphoma, reported in the literature as pseudo double-hit or non-Ig/MYC translocation, which has a better prognosis than double hit/triple hit lymphomas with Ig/MYC translocations.
Storage and transportation
Refrigerate specimen. Do not freeze. Use cold pack for transport, making sure cold pack is not in direct contact with specimen. NYS clients please provide date and time of collection.
