Overview

NCI Definition: A rare B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that is characterized by the abnormal rearrangement of MYC gene, BCL2 gene, and/or BCL6 gene. Patients with this type of lymphoma usually respond poorly to standard treatments and have a poor prognosis. [1]

High grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangementss most frequently harbor alterations in CREBBP, SETD1B, BCL6, KMT2D, and CDKN2A [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in High Grade B-Cell Lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 Rearrangements

TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, TP53 Mutation, TP53 Missense, TET3 V1085A, and SETDB2 Loss are the most common alterations in high grade B-cell lymphoma with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements [2].
