In summary, to the best of our knowledge, this was the first study that explored by means of an extensive targeted NGS panel the muta- tional profile of HCV-associated B-cell LPDs, identifying recurrently mutated genes and pathways. Our results demonstrate also that a subset of HCV-related LPDs may harbor distinct molecular and immu- nogenetic features and bring out the potential correlation between specific BCR configurations, genetic lesions and regression of the lymphoproliferation after HCV eradication. A clinical trial with DAAs in indolent HCV-positive lymphomas is ongoing with ancillary biologi- cal studies and will provide further data in this setting (NCT02836925).

Abstract
In summary, to the best of our knowledge, this was the first study that explored by means of an extensive targeted NGS panel the muta- tional profile of HCV-associated B-cell LPDs, identifying recurrently mutated genes and pathways. Our results demonstrate also that a subset of HCV-related LPDs may harbor distinct molecular and immu- nogenetic features and bring out the potential correlation between specific BCR configurations, genetic lesions and regression of the lymphoproliferation after HCV eradication. A clinical trial with DAAs in indolent HCV-positive lymphomas is ongoing with ancillary biologi- cal studies and will provide further data in this setting (NCT02836925).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
