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.

Relevance tier by entity

Entity Tier Description
BL 3 Mutations are unlikely to be relevant to BL
DLBCL 1 High-confidence DLBCL gene
FL 1 High-confidence FL gene
PMBL 2 Role of HIST1H1C mutations in PMBL requires confirmation

Warnings

The variants reported in BL in this gene failed QC
