Associated Genetic Biomarkers

Overview

NCI Definition: An indolent, extranodal type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma composed of small B-lymphocytes (centrocyte-like cells). The gastrointestinal tract is the most common site of involvement. Other common sites of involvement include lung, head and neck, ocular adnexae, skin, thyroid, and breast. Gastric involvement is associated with the presence of H. pylori infection. (WHO, 2001) [1]

Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues most frequently harbor alterations in TNFAIP3, NOTCH2, CREBBP, BCL10, and TBL1XR1 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Extranodal Marginal Zone Lymphoma of Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue

CREBBP Mutation, TNFAIP3fs, STAT6 Mutation, STAT6 D419G, and RECQL4 Mutation are the most common alterations in extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue [2].
