According to the most recent literature, EBV-positive DLBCL shows frequent structural genomic alterations, including recurrent '''6q deletions''' (44%)<ref name=":2" />, often involving important tumor-suppressor genes such as '''''PRDM1 and A20''''', which play key roles in B-cell lymphoma development''',''' although these cases show fewer '''''ANKRD11''1''' and '''''NOTCH2''''' mutations, suggesting a distinct pathogenic mechanism. Multiple focal amplifications have been reported<ref name=":1" />, most notably '''6p25.3''' containing ''IRF4'' (35%) and '''9p24.1''' including ''PD-L1/PD-L2'' and ''JAK2'' (20%), with PD-L1 amplification strongly correlating with protein overexpression<ref name=":1" />. Additional immune-escape and oncogenic amplifications include '''1q24.3 (FASL)''' (22%), '''11q24.3 (ETS1/FLI1)''' (20%), and '''2q31.3''' containing the lncRNA ''SChLAP1''<ref name=":1" />. Deletions are less common but include broad losses of '''18p/18q''' and a recurrent focal deletion at '''11p15.3''' impacting the tumor-suppressor ''DKK3''<ref name=":1" />. These structural alterations did not correspond to distinct gene-expression profiles.
