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. BCL10 mutations are a feature of the BN2 genetic subgroup, mutated in nearly 40% of BN2 cases.1,2
Experimental Evidence
BCL10 missense mutations in the CARD domain and truncating mutations have distinct functions and different effects on BTK and MALT1 inhibitors.3
