IL16
The IL16 gene, which encodes a pro-inflammatory cytokine, plays a role in immune responses. IL-16 is highly expressed in the activated B-cell-like (ABC) subtype of DLBCL compared to the germinal center B-cell-like (GCB) subtype. The role of mutations in lymphomagenesis is not understood. Overall, the mutation rate of IL16 is relatively low in DLBCL. Without further support, this gene may be migrated to Tier 2.
