Overview

NFKBIE encodes IκBε, a negative regulator of NF-κB. Mutations in NFKBIE can disrupt this regulatory function, leading to constitutive activation of NF-κB signaling.1 Mutations are relatively common in DLBCL and MCL.2

Relevance tier by entity

Entity Tier Description
PMBL 1 high-confidence PMBL/cHL/GZL gene1
DLBCL 1 high-confidence DLBCL gene2
