High MYC expression showed correlation with MYC breaks in DLBCL, NOS (Spearman rank correlation analysis, Spearman’s rho = 0.481, P<0.001), the GCB subgroup (Spearman’s rho = 0.623, P<0.001) and the non-GCB subgroup (Spearman’s rho = 0.556, P<0.001). Here, MYC is linked to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
