As for the molecular features, most frequently altered genes in localized DLBCL included PIM1, TET2, KMT2D, BTG2, BTG1, MYD88, ARID1A, HIST1H1E, MPEG1, TNFAIP3, TP53, CREBBP, FAS, GNA13, and TMSB4X, which were also reported to be commonly mutated in DLBCL (27, 28). Here, MPEG1 is linked to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
