A new member of the proprotein convertase gene family (LPC) has been identified at a chromosome translocation breakpoint occurring in a high grade lymphoma. The translocation t(11;14)(q23;q32) has been molecularly cloned and shown to be the result of a fusion between an intron in the 3' -untranslated region of LPC with a sequence close to the switch region S gamma 4 of the IGH locus. The LPC gene encodes a protein of 785 amino acids with substantial homology to furin and the other members of the proprotein convertase family and represents a novel target for chromosome translocation and subsequent deregulation.

D008228 Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin Any of a group of malignant tumors of lymphoid tissue that differ from HODGKIN DISEASE, being more heterogeneous with respect to malignant cell lineage, clinical course, prognosis, and therapy. The only common feature among these tumors is the absence of giant REED-STERNBERG CELLS, a characteristic of Hodgkin's disease.
