Mutational and transcriptional landscape of pediatric B-cell precursor lymphoblastic lymphoma.
Blood 2024 April 9
Pediatric B-cell precursor (BCP) lymphoblastic malignancies are neoplasms with manifestation either in bone marrow/blood (BCP acute lymphoblastic leukemia, BCP-ALL) or less common in extramedullary tissue (BCP lymphoblastic lymphoma, BCP-LBL). Although both presentations are similar in morphology and immunophenotype, molecular studies are virtually restricted to BCP-ALL so far. The lack of molecular studies on BCP-LBL is due to its rarity and the restriction to small, mostly formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissues. Here we present the first comprehensive mutational and transcriptional analysis of what we consider the largest BCP-LBL cohort described to date (n=97). Whole exome sequencing indicates a mutational spectrum of BCP-LBL strikingly similar to that found in BCP-ALL. However, epigenetic modifiers were more frequently mutated in BCP-LBL, whereas BCP-ALL was more frequently affected by mutation in genes involved in B-cell development. Integrating copy number alterations, somatic mutations and gene expression by RNA-sequencing revealed that virtually all molecular subtypes originally defined in BCP-ALL are present in BCP-LBL too, with only 7% of lymphomas that were not assigned to a subtype. Similar to BCP-ALL, the most frequent subtypes of BCP-LBL were high hyperdiploidy and ETV6::RUNX1. Tyrosine kinase/cytokine-receptor rearrangements were detected in 7% of BCP-LBL. These results indicate that genetic subtypes can be identified in BCP-LBL using next-generation sequencing, even on FFPE tissue, and may be relevant to guide treatment.
