The tumor suppressor mechanism in 13q14.3 is multigenic. Three different regions of 13q14.3 were deleted in B cells of mice (top; gray bars, deleted areas; arrows, genes) and led to the development of different proportions of hematopoietic malignancies, with larger deletions resulting in higher disease penetrance (bottom) and more aggressive disease.1,2
