PG - 58-65 AB - Extranodal malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphomas account for about 40% of lymphoid neoplasms, but few data are available concerning the genetic background of primary gastric diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). A study was performed of 27 primary gastric DLBCLs and 5 gastric DLBCLs with a concomitant low grade component of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue-type lymphoma using comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), microsatellite studies, classic cytogenetics, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to search for specific genetic aberrations. The most frequent aberrations were losses of material on chromosome 6q and gains of parts of chromosome 3. In three cases, a total of six high level DNA amplifications were detected, with five of them involving chromosomal regions not having been reported before in gastric DLBCL. A high overall concordance of 91.4% between microsatellite analysis and CGH was observed using DNA extracted from the same tissue block. The concordance achieved using DNA from different tissue blocks of the same patient was 85%. Microsatellite studies, CGH, FISH, and classic cytogenetics represent complementary techniques that facilitate a comprehensive view of genetic alterations in malignancies such as primary gastric DLBCL.
