2008, Journal of Molecular DiagnosticsCitation Excerpt :For PTCL cases, TRG clones were detected in 64 of 74 (86%) cases, which included 24 of 28 (86%) ALK+ ALCL cases, 30 of 35 (86%) ALK− ALCL cases, and 10 of 11 (91%) other PTCL cases (Table 4). These frequencies are similar to those of previous reports2,33,34 and of recent studies using the BIOMED-2 TRG PCR.21,35,36 Although few reports include large numbers of ALCL, Brüggemann et al21 detected TRG clones in 24 of 34 (71%) ALK+ cases and 8 of 9 (89%) ALK− cases in a BIOMED-2 study.
