Molecular assay reagents intended to identify mutations in the B-cell CLL/lymphoma 2 (BCL2) gene, located at chromosome 18q2, which encodes for an outer mitochondrial membrane protein that suppresses apoptotic cell death. Genetic mutations (rearrangements) involving the BCL2 gene are indicators of follicular lymphoma type II, chronic lymphatic leukemia, and/or B-cell lymphoma.
