==Gene Mutations (SNV/INDEL)==
==Gene Mutations (SNV/INDEL)==
The mutation landscape is primarily characterized by frequent alterations in the NF-κB, WNT, and IL-6/JAK/STAT pathways, distinguishing it from the mutation profile seen in EBV-negative DLBCL-NOS.<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" />
According to the most recent literature,<ref name=":2" /> frequent mutations in '''''ARID1A''', '''KMT2A''', '''ANKRD11''', '''NOTCH2''', and '''KMT2D''''' (30-45% of cases) are observed in EBV-positive DLBCL, with higher frequencies compared to EBV-negative DLBCL. Additionally, '''''CCR6''', '''CCR7''', '''DAPK1''', '''TNFRSF21''', and '''YY1''''' were identified as recurrent and specific mutations in EBV-positive DLBCL, differentiating it from other DLBCL subtypes.<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":2" />
