About the Webinar
In this webinar, we explore a groundbreaking case of a rare large B-cell lymphoma (LBL) with an IRF4 rearrangement detected using Arima’s 3D genomics technology. Traditional diagnostic methods, including FISH and RNA-seq, failed to detect the critical IRF4 rearrangement in this case.
Learn why a 3D genomics approach, an NGS method that preserves 3D genome structure, can detect diagnostic and therapeutically informative gene rearrangements that traditional methods miss.
