SEPT6_TRIM33 Gene Fusion and Mutated TP53 Pathway Associate With Unfavorable Prognosis in Patients With B-Cell Lymphomas

BackgroundMounting studies have sought to identify novel mutation biomarkers having diagnostic and prognostic potentials. Nevertheless, the understanding of the mutated pathways related to development and prognosis of B-cell lymphoma is still lacking. We aimed to comprehensively analyze the mutation...
