Abstract
Introduction
Primary testicular diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PT-DLBCL) is a rare and aggressive form of mature B-cell lymphoma commonly found in elder males, but its genetic features are poorly understood. In this study, we had performed target-sequencing of 360 lymphoma-related genes on 76 PT-DLBCL patients with a median age of 65 (33-89). Our data provide a comprehensive understanding of the landscape of mutations in a small subset of PT-DLBCL.
Methods
A total of 76 PT-DLBCL patients were sequenced, and their clinical data and follow-up data were collected. The relationship between mutated genes, clinical data and prognosis and survival of PT-DLBCL patients was retrospectively analyzed by statistical software.
Results
We observed a median of 15 protein-altering variants per patient in our data and was identified recurrent oncogenic mutations of 360 lymphoma-related genes involved in PT-DLBCL, including PIM1 (74%), MYD88 (50%), KMT2D (38%), KMT2C (34%), BTG2 (34%), TBL1XR1 (34%) and ETV6 (24%). Compared with classic DLBCL, PT-DLBCL showed an increased mutation frequency of PIM1, MYD88, BTG2, while NOTCH1 appeared exclusive mutated with PIM1, MSH3 and ETV6. Cox risk model regression analysis showed that age ≥60 years, IPI 3-5 points, BTG2 gene mutation and extranodal organ invasion suggested poor prognosis. Finally, we constructed an OS predict model of PT-DLBCL patients using above factors with a high accuracy.
Conclusion
In conclusion, our results revealed genomic characterization of PT-DLBCL, and the mutation of BTG2 was an independent factor predicting a poor prognosis.
