## Overview
3
-The IL16 gene, which encodes a pro-inflammatory cytokine, plays a role in immune responses. IL-16 is highly expressed in the activated B-cell-like (ABC) subtype of DLBCL compared to the germinal center B-cell-like (GCB) subtype. The role of mutations in lymphomagenesis is not understood. *Without further support, this gene may be migrated to Tier 2.*
