Table 2.

Frequency of REL gene locus amplifications in human B cell lymphoma subtypes. The frequencies of amplifications are displayed. Studies summarized in Table 1 were included in this table if amplifications were defined as a REL copy number of ≥4 copies or REL gene ratio of ≥2. In parenthesis, the fraction of the total number of investigated patients is given. The average percentage of REL amplification per subtype (bold, last row) was calculated using the sum of total reported patient numbers, the average for DLBCL includes data from both GCB- and ABC-DLBCL subgroups. *1 aCGH results distinguishing gains and amplifications only provided for 15 paired FL/tFL samples. Part of the total patient panel was additionally analyzed by qPCR. *2 Jardin et al. [128] did not distinguish gains/amplifications but provided gene ratios for all samples. Numbers presented here are based on a REL gene ratio of ≥2 representing amplifications. For additional information on studies and provided numbers as well as method abbreviations see legend of Table 1.
