A number of genetic alterations showed different frequencies in GCB and ABC-DLBCL, such as gains of HDAC7A on chromosome 12 predominantly in GCB-DLBCL (38% of cases) and losses of BACH2 and CASP8AP2 on chromosome 6 predominantly in ABC-DLBCL (35%), suggesting different pathways to lymphomagenesis in the two subtypes of DLBCL. Here, BACH2 is linked to aneurysmal bone cyst.
