+The B2M (β2-microglobulin) gene plays a crucial role in the function of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules, which are essential for immune system recognition of infected or malignant cells. B2M mutations in B-cell lymphomas, particularly in DLBCL and PMBCL, lead to reduced MHC class I expression, enabling tumor cells to evade immune detection and destruction by cytotoxic T cells.
