Due to the relatively recent classification of HGBL with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 translocation as a specific pathological entity, combined with small sample sizes, comprehensive data on gene mutation prevalence is not currently available. However, several studies have shown the mutational profile of HGBL DH/TH to differ significantly from that of DLBCL, NOS. Frequently mutations are associated with apoptosis and cell cycle pathways known to be associated with poor prognosis in DLBCL patients, including SOCS1 non-truncating mutations and mutations in CREBBP and FOX01<ref name=":9" />. HGBL DH/TH also shows a significantly higher number of IGH and MYC mutations than DLBCL with isolated MYC translocation<ref name=":8" />. MYC hotspot mutations occur more frequently in cases in which the MYC translocation partner is an immunoglobulin gene, and are associated with high MYC protein expression<ref name=":12" />. Amongst the most frequently mutated genes, somatic CREBBP mutations have been shown to inhibit TP53 tumour suppressor activity through activation of the BCL6 oncoprotein<ref name=":9" />. KMT2D mutations consist primarily of frameshift deletions and stop gain alterations with subsequent loss of protein function<ref name=":9" />.
