CD5+ diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBLs) have
recently been described as a particular subgroup of DLBLs. Classical
banding and interphase cytogenetic analyses targeting ATM,
TP53, and P16INK4a genes and the
D13S25 locus from 13 CD5+ DLBLs were compared
with 55 CD5 DLBLs. Additionally, analysis of somatic
mutations of the immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region
(IgVH) genes were performed in CD5+ DLBLs. CD5+
DLBLs were somatically mutated (7 of 8 cases) and were negative for
t(11;14)(q13;q32) and t(14;18)(q32;q21), whereas t(3;14)(q27;q32) was found in only one tumor. Trisomy 3 and gains on chromosomes 16/16p
and 18/18q were significantly overrepresented in CD5+
DLBLs. No ATM deletions were detected. The
prevalence of deletions at the D13S25 locus was
significantly higher in CD5+ DLBLs (4 of 12 [33%])
compared with CD5 DLBLs (4 of 42 [10%]), as were
p16INK4a deletions (33% versus 8%). On the
basis of these findings, CD5+ DLBLs are likely to arise
from the same progenitor cell as the mutated variant of
CD5+ lymphocytic lymphoma/B-cell chronic lymphocytic
leukemia (B-CLL).
