Prognostic gene expression and microRNA profiling signatures and genetic alterations in primary testicular diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

ABSTRACT: Primary testicular (PT) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a rare and aggressive lymphoma with distinct clinical and molecular characteristics. To identify prognostic biomarkers in PT-DLBCL, in this study we analyzed DNA and RNA samples of PT-DLBCL tumors from 206 patients using next-generation sequencing platforms and assays. Genetic alteration analysis found that multiple chromosomal copy number variations (CNVs), TP53 transcript mutations with high variant allele frequency, and MCD subtype had significantly adverse prognostic effects, whereas elevated microsatellite instability had a significantly favorable prognostic effect in PT-DLBCL. Targeted RNA-seq analysis identified a PTL gene expression signature by comparing PT-DLBCL with systemic DLBCL and revealed the heterogeneity wit
