Overview

This is one of several genes that encode linker histone proteins that are recurrently mutated in DLBCL and FL.1,2 Mutations are often found in the globular domain of the protein, which is critical for its interaction with DNA and other histone proteins.

The variants reported in BL in this gene failed QC
