BCL-6 mutations are accumulated during B-cell transit
through the germinal center (GC) and provide a histogenetic marker for B-cell tumors. On the basis of a comprehensive analysis of 308 B-cell
neoplasms, we (1) expand the spectrum of tumors associated with
BCL-6 mutations; (2) corroborate the notion that mutations cluster with GC and post-GC B-cell neoplasms; and (3) identify heterogeneous mutation frequency among B-lineage diffuse
large cell lymphoma (B-DLCL) subsets. Mutations are virtually
absent in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (P < .001) and
mantle cell lymphoma (P < .05), whereas they occur
frequently in GC or post-GC neoplasms, including lymphoplasmacytoid
lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, MALT lymphomas, B-DLCL and Burkitt
lymphoma. Among B-DLCL, mutations occur frequently in systemic nodal
B-DLCL, primary extranodal B-DLCL, CD5+ B-DLCL,
CD30+ B-DLCL, and primary splenic B-DLCL,
suggesting a similar histogenesis of these B-DLCL subsets. Conversely,
mutations are rare in primary mediastinal B-DLCL with
sclerosis (10.0%; P < .01), supporting a distinct
histogenesis for this lymphoma. Longitudinal follow-up of
B-DLCL transformed from follicular lymphoma shows that they BCL-6 mutations may accumulate during histologic progression. Mutations also occur in some B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemias, small lymphocytic lymphomas, and hairy cell leukemias, consistent with
the hypothesis that a fraction of these lymphoproliferations are
related to GC-like cells. Finally, the molecular pattern of 193 mutational events reinforces the hypothesis that mutations of
BCL-6 and immunoglobulin genes are caused by similar mechanisms.
