editv4:Immunophenotype
The content below was from the previous version of the page. Please incorporate above.
Flow Findings Marker
Positive (universal) CD10, CD20, CD19, CD22, BCL6 [9]

Immunohistochemistry:

  • Ki67 usually >90% [6] [9][8] [1] [7]
  • LMO2 expression (46% to 70% as compared to 0% in myc-positive BL)[8][9]
  • MYC may be positive if using a 40% MYC[8]

Chromosomal Rearrangements (Gene Fusions)

BLL-11q has no known gene fusions at this time.

Characteristic Chromosomal Patterns

  • Research up until this point has revealed no conservative breakpoints. [12]
Chromosomal Pattern Diagnostic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown) Prognostic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown) Therapeutic Significance (Yes, No or Unknown) Notes
proximal 11q duplications range in size
  • often >50 Mbp or <20 Mbp and most often involving the 11q22.2.-23.2 [12]
  • can be as proximal as 11q13.3 [12]
  • often with inversion [12]
 yes unknown unknown The characteristic gains combined with the terminal deletions can occur in the context of myc-positive BL and other myc-negative HGBCLs. The absence of a MYC translocation/amplification in association with this chromosomal pattern is critical to the provisional diagnosis of BLL-11q and may have prognostic and therapeutic implications, which are further discussed below. At least one case has been identified with only proximal gains in the context of UPD.[12]
terminal 11q deletions range in size
  • most often 11q24.1-24.3 [12]
  • noted to be as proximal as 11q23.3q25[12]
 yes unknown unknown
5q21.3q32 gain and 6q12.1-q21 loss [13][8] unknown unknown unknown Noted to be recurrently concomitantly present with the characteristic proximal duplications and deletions that define BLL, 11q.[13]

Notably, no 1q21 abnormalities were found in myc-negative, 11q positive cases. [7][8]

Gene Mutations (SNV / INDEL)

  • Studies suggest an overall unique mutational profile, with little to no overlap with commonly mutated genes in DLCBL and BL, respectively. Notably, recurrent mutations in BL such as ID3, TCF3, and CCND3 were not present. [8] [14]
  • Mutations listed below where noted to be recurrent in BLL-11q cases. Bold genes have also been found recurrently mutated in DLCBL.
    • DDX3X[8][14]
    • ETS1 coding mutations located a DNA-binding domain, combined with lower RNA expression in BLL-11q cases [8]
    • 7/15 cases showed mutations in GNA13[14]
    • FOXO1[14]
    • 3/15 cases showed a Y641 mutational hotspot mutation of EZH2 [14]
    • TTN[14]

Recurrently mutated genes in BLL-11q with known mechanisms that may contribute to pathogenesis.

Epigenomic Alterations

  • KMT2A has been found to be duplicated and occasionally amplified in numerous cases of BLL-11q[12]
    • functions to methylate histones[15]
  • Found to have mutations in EP300, HIST1H1D, HIST1H2BC, CREBBP, KMT2C, EZH2, ARID1A, KMT2D[8]

Genes and Main Pathways Involved

  • Given the notable variations in size of the duplicated and deleted regions of BLL-11q, pathogenesis appears to be complex and remains to be elucidated. Still, it is presumed to be a a product of dosage effects produced by the more varied proximal duplications and more consistent terminal deletions.[12]
  • Genes found recurrently in minimal duplication region: IL10RA; TMPRSS4; SCN4B; AMICA1; MPZL3; CD3E; CD3D; UBE4A; ATP5L; KMT2A; TTC36, TMEM25, IFT46; ARCN1 [10] [12]
  • Genes found recurrently in terminal deleted region: ETS1; FLT1; KCNJ5; C11orf45; TP53AIP1 [10] [12]
    • ETS1 and FLT1 are candidate tumor supressor genes thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of DLBCL [10] [16]


GENES with PROPOSED/KNOWN CANCER ASSOCIATIONS

Gene; Genetic Alteration Pathway Pathophysiologic Outcome
IL10RA; Duplication insulin receptor substrate-2/PI 3-kinase/AKT pathway[17] increase survival of progenitor myeloid cells[17]
KMT2A; Duplication methylation of histones (turns off genes)[15] amplification noted to be associated with bulky BLL-11q tumors >20 cm, mainly located in the retroperitoneum[12]
USP2; duplication (found 1x) [12] deubiquitinase known to target proteins such as MDM2 (udiquinates p53), MDM4, and CCND1[18] increased degradation of p53 (less tumor suppressor) and more CCND1-->increased movement from G1 to synthesis[18]
NFRKB; deleted[14] encodes a nuclear factor involved with the INO80 complex[14] altered transcriptional regulation [14]

Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods

  • Conventional cytogenetics (karyotyping) + FISH using MYC break-apart probe to rule out MYC translocation [13] [3]
  • Chromosomal microarray analysis [8] [3]

Familial Forms

  • None known

Clinical Implications


  • Look for 11q aberration if Myc negative lymphoma with morphology reminiscent of BL, DLBCL, or HGBCL [3]
  • Attend to associated chromosomal and mutational abnormalities of other aggressive B-cell lymphomas, ensuring their absence before diagnosis of BLL-11q, since BLL-11q may represent [2] [4] [5]
  • BLL-11q patients treated with R-CHOP (DLBCL treatment) have a higher risk of relapse than those treated with traditional BL treatment [6] [7]

Tentatively appears to portend a better prognosis with high likelihood of years of remission [3] [8] [6][2]
