The mutational landscape of Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration is distinct from that of Burkitt lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: The new recently described provisional lymphoma category Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration comprises cases similar to Burkitt lymphoma (BL) on morphological, immunophenotypic and gene-expression levels but lacking the IG-MYC translocation. They are characterized by a peculiar imbalance pattern on chromosome 11, but the landscape of mutations is not yet described. Thus, we investigated 15 MYC-negative Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration (mnBLL,11q,) cases by copy-number analysis and whole-exome sequencing. We refined the regions of 11q imbalance and identified the INO80 complex-associated gene NFRKB as a positional candidate in 11q24.3. Next to recurrent gains in 12q13.11-q24.32 and 7q34-qter as well as losses in 13q32.3-q34, we identified 47 genes recurrently affected by protein-changing mutations (each ?3 of 15 cases). Strikingly, we did not detect recurrent mutations in genes of the ID3-TCF3 axis or the SWI/SNF complex that are frequently altered in BL, or in genes frequently mutated in germinal center-derived B-cell lymphomas like KMT2D or CREBBP An exception is GNA13, which was mutated in 7 of 15 cases. We conclude that the genomic landscape of mnBLL,11q, differs from that of BL both at the chromosomal and mutational levels. Our findings implicate that mnBLL,11q, is a lymphoma category distinct from BL at the molecular level.

Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration: a germinal center-derived lymphoma genetically unrelated to Burkitt lymphoma.

Project description:Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration is characterized by pathological features and gene expression profile resembling those of Burkitt lymphoma but lacks the MYC rearrangement and carries an 11q-arm aberration with proximal gains and telomeric losses. Whether this lymphoma is a distinct category or a particular variant of other recognized entities is controversial. To improve the understanding of Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration we performed an analysis of copy number alterations and targeted sequencing of a large panel of B-cell lymphoma-related genes in 11 cases. Most patients had localized nodal disease and a favorable outcome after therapy. Histologically, they were high grade B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (8 cases), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (2 cases) and only one was considered as atypical Burkitt lymphoma. All cases had a germinal center B-cell signature and phenotype with frequent LMO2 expression. The patients with Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration had frequent gains of 12q12-q21.1 and losses of 6q12.1-q21, and lacked common Burkitt lymphoma or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma alterations. Potential driver mutations were found in 27 genes, particularly involving BTG2, DDX3X, ETS1, EP300, and GNA13 However, ID3, TCF3, or CCND3 mutations were absent in all cases. These results suggest that Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration is a germinal center-derived lymphoma closer to high-grade B-cell lymphoma or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma than to Burkitt lymphoma.

The 11q-Gain/Loss Aberration Occurs Recurrently in MYC-Negative Burkitt-like Lymphoma With 11q Aberration, as Well as MYC-Positive Burkitt Lymphoma and MYC-Positive High-Grade B-Cell Lymphoma, NOS.

Project description:ObjectivesThe latest revision of lymphoma's World Health Organization classification describes the new provisional entity "Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration" (BLL, 11q) as lacking MYC rearrangement, but harboring the specific11q-gain/loss aberration. We report genetic characteristics of 11 lymphoma cases with this aberration.MethodsClassical cytogenetics, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and single nucleotide polymorphism/array comparative genomic hybridization.ResultsThe 11q aberrations were described as duplication, inversion, and deletion. Array comparative genomic hybridization showed two types of duplication: bigger than 50 megabase pairs (Mbp) and smaller than 20 Mbp, which were associated with bulky tumor larger than 20 cm and amplification of the 11q23.3 region, including KMT2A. Six cases revealed a normal FISH status of MYC and were diagnosed as BLL,11q. Five cases showed MYC rearrangement and were diagnosed as Burkitt lymphoma (BL) or high-grade B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (HGBL, NOS).ConclusionsThe 11q-gain/loss is not specific for BLL, 11q, but occurs recurrently in MYC-positive BL and MYC-positive HGBL.

Aggressive B-cell lymphoma cases with 11q aberration patterns indicate a spectrum beyond Burkitt-like lymphoma.

Project description:The recent characterization of a group of non-MYC rearranged aggressive B-cell lymphomas, resembling Burkitt lymphoma (BL), characteristically harboring a telomeric 11q loss or combined 11q proximal gains/loss pattern has led to the introduction of the provisional entity of Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration (BLL-11q). Prompted by the discovery of a telomeric 11q loss in an HIV+ high-grade B-cell lymphoma patient, we investigated an extended cohort of aggressive B-cell lymphomas, enriched for cases with histopathological features intermediate between DLBCL and BL, including double- and triple-hit lymphomas (n = 47), for 11q loss/combined 11q proximal gains/loss pattern by fluorescence in situ hybridization. We provide first evidence that 11q aberrations can be found in both BLL in the context of an underlying HIV infection as well as in high-grade B-cell lymphomas with MYC, BCL2, and/or BCL6 rearrangements. We therefore propose that the clinicopathological spectrum of malignancies carrying this aberration may be broader than previously assumed.

A recurrent 11q aberration pattern characterizes a subset of MYC-negative high-grade B-cell lymphomas resembling Burkitt lymphoma.

Project description:The genetic hallmark of Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is the t(8;14)(q24;q32) and its variants leading to activation of the MYC oncogene. It is a matter of debate whether true BL without MYC translocation exists. Here, we identified 59 lymphomas concordantly called BL by 2 gene expression classifiers among 753 B-cell lymphomas. Only 2 (3%) of these 59 molecular BL lacked a MYC translocation, which both shared a peculiar pattern of chromosome 11q aberration characterized by interstitial gains including 11q23.2-q23.3 and telomeric losses of 11q24.1-qter. We extended our analysis to 17 MYC-negative high-grade B-cell lymphomas with a similar 11q aberration and showed this aberration to be recurrently associated with morphologic and clinical features of BL. The minimal region of gain was defined by high-level amplifications in 11q23.3 and associated with overexpression of genes including PAFAH1B2 on a transcriptional and protein level. The recurrent region of loss contained a focal homozygous deletion in 11q24.2-q24.3 including the ETS1 gene, which was shown to be mutated in 4 of 16 investigated cases. These findings indicate the existence of a molecularly distinct subset of B-cell lymphomas reminiscent of BL, which is characterized by deregulation of genes in 11q.

Distinct Viral and Mutational Spectrum of Endemic Burkitt Lymphoma.

Project description:Endemic Burkitt lymphoma (eBL) is primarily found in children in equatorial regions and represents the first historical example of a virus-associated human malignancy. Although Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection and MYC translocations are hallmarks of the disease, it is unclear whether other factors may contribute to its development. We performed RNA-Seq on 20 eBL cases from Uganda and showed that the mutational and viral landscape of eBL is more complex than previously reported. First, we found the presence of other herpesviridae family members in 8 cases (40%), in particular human herpesvirus 5 and human herpesvirus 8 and confirmed their presence by immunohistochemistry in the adjacent non-neoplastic tissue. Second, we identified a distinct latency program in EBV involving lytic genes in association with TCF3 activity. Third, by comparing the eBL mutational landscape with published data on sporadic Burkitt lymphoma (sBL), we detected lower frequencies of mutations in MYC, ID3, TCF3 and TP53, and a higher frequency of mutation in ARID1A in eBL samples. Recurrent mutations in two genes not previously associated with eBL were identified in 20% of tumors: RHOA and cyclin F (CCNF). We also observed that polyviral samples showed lower numbers of somatic mutations in common altered genes in comparison to sBL specimens, suggesting dual mechanisms of transformation, mutation versus virus driven in sBL and eBL respectively.

Comprehensive immunophenotypic characterization of Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration by flow-cytometry

Project description:Recently, a subset of MYC-translocation negative aggressive B-cell lymphomas resembling Burkitt lymphoma (BL) characterized by proximal gains and distal losses in the long arm of chromosome 11 has been described. In the 2016 revision of the WHO classification these MYC-translocation negative lymphomas have been introduced as new provisional entity designated “Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration” (MNBLL 11q). Here, we show a comprehensive flow-cytometry analysis of 10 MNBLL 11q cases, well characterized genetically and pathologically. Twenty-three cases of MYC-positive BL, including three cases carrying both MYC rearrangements and 11q aberration, served as controls. All MNBLL 11q were CD20+/CD10+/BCL6+/BCL2- /MUM1- /MYC+/EBV negative , presented a high proliferation rate and showed a three-year overall survival (80%) similar to BL patients, with no recurrence after the end of treatment. MNBLL 11q immunophenotype was similar to that of MYC-positive BL without and with 11q, except for less frequent CD38higher expression (10% MNBLL 11q vs 91% MYC-positive BL, p<0.001), less frequent diminished CD45 expression (90% vs 23%, p=0.001), and CD16/CD56 co-expression (60% vs 0%, p<0.001). Our findings suggest subtle but important differences in MNBLL 11q immunophenotypes and MYC-positive BLs, which could not only aid in the differential diagnosis but also in the understanding of the pathogenesis of MNBLL 11q.

Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration: A germinal center derived lymphoma without ID3-TCF3-CCND3 pathway deregulation [ONCOSCAN]

Project description:Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration (BLL-11q) is a new provisional category in the 2016 WHO classification. The limited number of reported cases does not allow to define whether this is a specific entity or it is a particular variant of other recognized categories such as Burkitt or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The genetic alterations involved in the pathogenesis of BLL-11Q are not known.
