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

Experimental Evidence

Driver mutations affecting this gene in DLBCL have been experimentally demonstrated to cause a reduction or loss of function (LOF).3
