Expression defined classification of subtypes of diffuse large B cell lymphoma

ABSTRACT: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) comprises molecularly distinct subgroups such as activated B-cell-like (ABC) and germinal center B-cell-like (GCB) DLBCLs. We previously reported that CD5(+) and CD5(-)CD10(+) DLBCL constitute clinically relevant subgroups. To determine whether these 2 subgroups are related to ABC and GCB DLBCLs, we analyzed the genomic imbalance of 99 cases (36 CD5(+), 19 CD5(-)CD10(+), and 44 CD5(-)CD10(-)) using array-based comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). Forty-six of these cases (22 CD5(+), 9 CD5(-)CD10(+), 1 CD5 (-), and 14 CD5(-)CD10(-)) were subsequently subjected to gene-expression profiling, resulting in their division into 28 ABC (19 CD5(+) and 9 CD5(-)CD10(-)) and 18 GCB (3 CD5(+), 7 CD5(-)CD10(+), and 8 CD5(-)CD10(-)) types.
