Characterization of the genomic landscape of canine diffuse large B-cell lymphoma reveals recurrent H3K27M mutations linked to progression-free survival by Anna Darlene van der Heiden, Raphaela Pensch, Sophie Agger, Heather L. Gardner, William Hendricks, Victoria Zismann, Shukmei Wong, Natalia Briones, Bryce Turner, Karin Forsberg-Nilsson, Cheryl London, Kerstin Lindblad-Toh, Maja Louise Arendt

“…Abstract Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive hematopoietic neoplasm that affects humans as well as dogs. While previous studies on canine DLBCL (cDLBCL) have significantly advanced our understanding of the disease, the majority of this research has relied on whole-exome sequencing, which is limited in its ability to detect copy number aberrations and other genomic changes beyond coding regions. …”
