Abstract

The incidence of B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) is lower in Asian countries, including India, when compared with Western countries. The bcl-2 gene rearrangement was restricted to the 5' region and seen in only one of the 20 Indian patients analyzed. The incidence remains similar to that reported from Western and Japanese institutions.

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.
