Oncogenic Mutations of MYD88 and CD79B in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma and Implications for Clinical Practice
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in adults. Despite the recognition of transcriptional subtypes with distinct functional characteristics, patient outcomes have not been substantially altered since the advent of chemoimmunotherapy (CIT) twenty years ago....

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in adults. Despite the recognition of transcriptional subtypes with distinct functional characteristics, patient outcomes have not been substantially altered since the advent of chemoimmunotherapy (CIT) twenty years ago.

DLBCL arises from antigen exposed B-cells, with the B-cell receptor (BCR) playing a central role. BCR-activity related mutations, such as CD79B and MYD88, are responsible for chronic activation of the BCR in a substantial subset of patients.
