Affymetrix SNP array data for Marginal Zone Lymphoma samples

ABSTRACT: Marginal zone B-cell lymphomas (MZL) have been divided into three distinct subtypes (extranodal MZL of MALT type, nodal MZL; splenic MZL). Nevertheless, the relationship between them is still unclear. We performed a comprehensive analysis of genomic DNA copy number changes in a very large series of MZL cases with the aim of addressing this question. Samples from 218 MZL patients (25 nodal, 57 MALT, 134 splenic and two not better specified MZL) were analyzed with the Affymetrix Human Mapping 250K SNP arrays, and the data combined with matched gene expression in 33/218 cases. MALT lymphoma presented significantly more frequently gains at 3p, 6p, 18p and del(6q23) (TNFAIP3/A20), whilst splenic MZL was associated with del(7q31), del(8p). Nodal MZL did not show statistically significant differe
