We have narrowed down the regions and selected some amplified and overexpressed genes: BCLX, PCNA and FKBP1A. These genes are also overexpressed in 65–90% of a set of 39 T-cell lymphomas and 3 cell lines, while IGFBP2 and cMYC are only overexpressed in T-cell lines. This evidence concerns the gene PCNA and T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
