Table 1. Grading and mutational landscape of follicular lymphoma.

Grading of follicular lymphoma
Grade CB:HPF Characteristics
1 0-5 CD10+, BCL2+, and BLC2 translocation+ in 90% of cases
2 6-15 CD10+, BCL2+, and BLC2 translocation+ in 90% of cases
3A >15 Presence of centrocytes, CD10+, BCL2+, and BLC2 translocation+ in 75% of cases
3B >15 Absence of centrocytes (diffuse areas of centroblasts), CD10+, BCL2+, and BLC2 translocation+ in few cases
Mutational profile
Gene % Function / Effect
KMT2D 80-90 Loss of function; histone modification
IgHV, IgLV 75-90 Gain of function; BCR signaling and proliferation
CREBBP 33-70 Loss of function; histone modification
BCL2 0.5 Gain of function; anti-apoptosis
TNFRSF14 20-50 Loss of function; immune evasion
BCL6 47 Gain of function; tumor progression
H1-2, H1-4 44 Loss of function; chromatin remodeling
RRAGC 17 gain of function; mTOR survival
EZH2 7-30 Gain of function; histone modification
TNFAIP3 2-26 Loss of function; survival
Prognosis
m7-FLIPI EZH2, ARID1A, MEF2B, EP300, FOXO1, CREBBP and CARD11
Genetically-targeted therapy
Tazemetostat EZH2 inhibitor
Duvelisib PI3K inhibitor
Copanlisib PI3K inhibitor
Ibrutinib CARD11 and FOXO1 mutation+ cases
Vorinostat CREBBP and EP300 mutation+ cases
