Clinical Significance
The High-Grade B-Cell Lymphoma Reflex Panel differentiates double-hit or triple-hit lymphomas (which have MYC rearrangements together with BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements) from Burkitt lymphoma or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Double-hit and triple-hit lymphomas are difficult to classify morphologically without aid of cytogenetics/FISH or IHC, and are associated with an aggressive course. Testing is indicated when B-cell lymphoma patients experience transformation, relapse, or refractory disease.
This reflex panel may be considered a cost-effective alternative to the High-Grade/Large B-Cell Lymphoma FISH Panel when clinical circumstances allow an additional few days for reflex testing if MYC is rearranged. IgH rearrangement may be inferred from positive results, but is not specifically identified.
