Cytogenetic findings contribute not only to a detailed classification of malignant lymphomas, but also to better prediction of prognosis. Therefore cytogenetic findings gain increasing importance in lymphoma diagnosis. Here, the characteristic chromosome abnormalities t(8;14)(q24;q32), t(2;8)(p12;q24), t(8;22)(q24;q11), t(14;18)(q32;q21), t(11;14)(q13;q32), + 12, + 3 and t(2;5)(p23;q35) and their molecular consequences are described.

D002871	Chromosome Banding	Staining of bands, or chromosome segments, allowing the precise identification of individual chromosomes or parts of chromosomes. Applications include the determination of chromosome rearrangements in malformation syndromes and cancer, the chemistry of chromosome segments, chromosome changes during evolution, and, in conjunction with cell hybridization studies, chromosome mapping.
