BP = biphasic, MP = monophasic, UC = unclassifiable

R = Rearrangement

#

This represented one case that had three signals for the centromere of chromosome 7 and two signals for 7q31.

*

Typical SMZL phenotype considered to be CD5−, CD23−, CD10−, CD43−, and IgD+.

NE = Not evaluable

The following cutoffs were used for FISH positivity: 15% for del(7)(q31), BCL6-R, +3(q27), BCL3-R, +18, +12, +5, and +X; 20% for CDK6-R and MALT1-R; 30% for BCL2-R.
