Clinics and Pathology

Disease

non Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL)

Phenotype stem cell origin

2 cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBL) with BCL6/ZNFN1A1 involvement, 1 NHL with BCL6 involvement, 1 follicular, predominantly large cell B-NHL and one T-NHL without gene ascertainement

Epidemiology

5 cases to date, aged 40-70 yrs, sex ration: 3M:1F

Prognosis

The 2 patients with BCL6/ZNFN1A1 involvement died at 16 and 17 mths after diagnosis

Genes Involved and Proteins

Gene name
BCL6 (B-Cell Lymphoma 6)
Location
3q27.3
Protein description
transcription factor; belongs to the Krüppel family, with a N-term BTB/POZ domain and 6 zinc fingers; transcription repressor
Gene name
IKZF1 (Ikaros family zinc finger 1)
Location
7p12.2
Protein description
transcription regulator; can repress transcription through the recruitment of histone deacetylase complexes; role in conjunction with Aiolos; hemopoietic-specific zinc finger protein regulator of B and T-cell differentiation

Result of the Chromosomal Anomaly

Description

5 Ikaros - 3 BCL6 fusion transcript; it is supposed that substitution of the promoter of BCL6 may be responsible for BCL6 deregulation
