Genomic Analysis of Follicular Lymphoma

We included tumors from newly diagnosed or untreated follicular lymphoma in this study. Samples consented to the University of Iowa and Mayo Clinic Lymphoma Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE) were included for data sharing. RNA was extracted from 1) CD19 sorted B cells from tumor cell suspension frozen in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO; RNA Tumor B Cell, n=77), 2) tumor cell suspensions frozen in DMSO (RNA Tumor DMSO, n=78), and 3) tumor tissue sections frozen in optimal cutting temperature compound (OCT; RNA Tumor OCT, n=53). For RNA sequencing, library preparation was done using the Illumina TruSeq RNA Exome Kit and sequenced with 100 nucleotide paired-end reads using the HiSeq 4000. DNA was extracted from 1) tumor cell suspensions frozen in DMSO (DNA Tumor DMSO, n=78), 2)... (for more see dbGaP study page.)
