Back to Diseases List
Associated Genetic Biomarkers

Overview

NCI Definition: A non-Hodgkin or Hodgkin lymphoma that arises in the brain or spinal cord as a primary lesion. There is no evidence of lymphoma outside the central nervous system at the time of diagnosis. [1]

Central nervous system lymphomas most frequently harbor alterations in MYD88, PIM1, KMT2D, CDKN2A, and TP53 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Central Nervous System Lymphoma

MYD88 Mutation, MYD88 L265P, MYD88 Exon 5 Mutation, PIM1 Mutation, and KMT2D Mutation are the most common alterations in central nervous system lymphoma [2].
