BCL10

Overview

BCL10 (B-cell lymphoma/leukemia 10) is a gene involved in apoptosis signaling and immune response regulation. Mutations in BCL10 have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various lymphomas, particularly mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas. They have also been reproducibly observed in a smaller proportion of DLBCLs with the frequency in non-MALT lymphomas under some debate.
