Disease

t(14;18)/IGH-MALT1 was detected in MALT lymphoma first. The frequencies at which the translocation occurs vary markedly with the primary site of the disease. IGH-MALT1 rearrangements were described also in other B-NHLs such as DLBCL (Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma).

Genes Involved and Proteins

Gene name
IGH (Immunoglobulin Heavy)
Location
14q32.33
Gene name
MALT1 (mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation gene 1)
Location
18q21.32
Protein description
Stimulation of either the T cell antigen receptor (TCR) or B cell antigen receptor leads to stimulation of protein kinase C isoforms that phosphorylate the scaffolding protein CARMA1, which subsequently recruits both Bcl-10 and MALT1 to form what is now referred to as the CARMA1-Bcl-10-MALT1 (CBM) signalosome. Once the CBM signalosome is assembled, MALT1 functions as the effector protein and mediates activation of the IKK complex, a multi subunit kinase that phosphorylates the Ikappa B proteins, which bind to and sequester the transcription factor NF-kappaB in the cytoplasm. Phosphorylation and subsequent degradation of Ikappa B leads to the release of NF-kappaB, which then translocates to the nucleus and regulates the transcription of target genes involved in the immune response to foreign antigens.

Result of the Chromosomal Anomaly

Note

Breakpoints upstream the coding exons of MALT1 resulting in an in-frame deregulation of MALT1.
