It has been shown that bcl-2 protein plays an important role in the etiopathogenesis of some inflammatory autoimmune diseases, as well as hematopoietic malignancies, such as B cell lymphoma, in acute promyelocytic leukaemia, and non-hematopoietic malignancies, such as pancreatic beta-cell cancer [8]. Here, BCL2 is linked to B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
