Supplemental Studies
Immunohistology and Flow Cytometry
| B lineage | 100% |
| Immunoglobulins | Variably detectable |
| bcl1 (cyclinD1) | 85% |
| CD5 | 80% |
| CD43 | 85% |
| CD23 | 2% |
| bcl2 | 95% |
| CD10 | 2% |
Ki67 should be performed and reported in every case as the % positive is related to survival
| Ki67 rate | 5 year survival |
|---|---|
| 5-20% | 47% |
| 21-40% | 32% |
| 41-60% | 31% |
| 61-90% | 25% |
Genetic Analysis
- bcl1 (cyclinD1) negative cases may have cyclinD2 (CCND2) or cyclinD3 (CCND3) expression
- FISH for t(11;14) detects nearly 100% of cases
- Karyotype detects 65% of cases
- PCR for major translocation cluster detects 30-40% of cases
