    SWISS-PROTNote=Chromosomal aberrations involving BCL6 are a cause of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (B-cell NHL), including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma. Approximately 40% of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas and 5 to 10% of follicular lymphomas are associated with chromosomal translocations that deregulate expression of BCL6 by juxtaposing heterologous promoters to the BCL6 coding domain. Translocation t(3;14)(q27;q32). Translocation t(3;22)(q27;q11) with immunoglobulin gene regions. Translocation t(3;7)(q27;p12) with IKZF1 gene 5'non-coding region. Translocation t(3;6)(q27;p21) with Histone H4. Translocation t(3;16)(q27;p11) with IL21R. Translocation t(3;13)(q27;q14) with LCP1
    SWISS-PROTNote=A chromosomal aberration involving BCL6 may be a cause of a form of B-cell leukemia. Translocation t(3;11)(q27;q23) with POU2AF1/OBF1
