CSE1L- and inhibitor of DNA binding-3 (ID3)-overexpression was associated with the diagnosis of BL and signal transduction and transcription-3 (STAT3) with DLBCL (P<0.001 for all markers).
We identified ID3 mutations in lymphomas with chromosomal aberrations at cMYC and either BCL2 or BCL6 at a frequency intermediate between that of DLBCL and Burkitt lymphoma, hinting at a common pathway in lymphomagenesis for a subset of patients with DHL.
