A cohort comprising 156 patients with B-cell neoplasms harboring an MYC rearrangement was analyzed with respect to phenotypic presentation, molecular markers (TP53, MYC and ID3) and additional cytogenetic abnormalities (concomitantly occurring BCL2, BCL6 and/or CCND1 rearrangements; double, triple or quadruple hit lymphomas = multiple hit lymphomas). MYC translocations occurred as single hit (only MYC rearranged, 63%) or multiple hit lymphoma (37%) and presented as acute leukemia (AL) (14%), Burkitt lymphoma (30%), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) (21%) or other mature B-cell neoplasms (35%). Multiple hit lymphomas more frequently showed a complex karyotype compared to single hit lymphomas (62% vs. 28%, p < 0.001). Single hit Burkitt lymphomas presented with specific characteristics, by translocation of MYC to an immunoglobulin locus, predominantly a non-complex karyotype (23% vs. 67%, p = 0.012) and a significantly higher ID3 and TP53 mutation frequency (ID3mut: 49% vs. 0%, p = 0.002; TP53mut: 69% vs. 33%, p = 0.045). Additionally, MYC rearranged CLL presented as outstanding group by often showing a non-complex karyotype (85%), absence of ID3 mutations, a high frequency of SF3B1 mutations, and a frequent involvement of non-immunoglobulin loci as MYC-partner genes (61%). Consequently, genetic characteristics distinguish different subgroups of MYC rearranged B-cell neoplasms and therefore may contribute to a new classification system.
对156例携带MYC重排的B细胞肿瘤患者组成的队列进行了分析,涉及表型表现、分子标志物(TP53、MYC和ID3)以及其他细胞遗传学异常(同时发生的BCL2、BCL6和/或CCND1重排;双打击、三打击或四打击淋巴瘤=多打击淋巴瘤)。MYC易位表现为单打击(仅MYC重排,63%)或多打击淋巴瘤(37%),并表现为急性白血病(AL)(14%)、伯基特淋巴瘤(30%)、慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)(21%)或其他成熟B细胞肿瘤(35%)。与单打击淋巴瘤相比,多打击淋巴瘤更常表现为复杂核型(62%对28%,p<0.001)。单打击伯基特淋巴瘤具有特定特征,即MYC易位至免疫球蛋白基因座,主要为非复杂核型(23%对67%,p=0.012),且ID3和TP53突变频率显著更高(ID3突变:49%对0%,p=0.002;TP53突变:69%对33%,p=0.045)。此外,MYC重排的CLL表现为一个突出的组,常显示非复杂核型(85%),无ID3突变,SF3B1突变频率高,且作为MYC伙伴基因的非免疫球蛋白基因座频繁受累(61%)。因此,遗传特征可区分MYC重排的B细胞肿瘤的不同亚组,因此可能有助于建立新的分类系统。
