Abstract

Epidemiological studies have demonstrated the association between hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL), mainly for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL). We studied a cohort of 121 FL patients for HBV infection status, clinical features and gene mutational profile. Anti-HBc was detectable in sixteen patients (13.2%), although all had undetectable HBV DNA. Anti-HBc+ cases presented with older age at diagnosis than anti-HBc- cases (68.1 vs. 57.2 years, P=0.007) and higher β2-microglobulin (56.3% vs. 28.9%, P=0.04). All patients included in the study fulfilled criteria for treatment and received therapy with rituximab or rituximab-containing chemotherapy. There were no episodes of HBV reactivation or HBV-hepatitis during treatment and/or maintenance. Remarkably, anti-HBc+ patients had significantly lower 10-year PFS (12.9% vs 58.3%; P<0.0001) and OS (22.0% vs. 86.2%, P<0.0001), that remained at multivariate analysis. Gene mutational profiling of all cases showed that anti-HBc+ cases had higher incidence of ARID1A mutations and absence of EP300 mutations, two key epigenetic regulators in FL. Overall, our study shows that FL patients with resolved HBV infection have a worse outcome independently of other well-known clinical risk factors and a distinct gene mutational profile.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 13. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 May 2022.
All research outputs
#2,611,906
of 23,847,962 outputs
Outputs from Blood Advances
#538
of 2,828 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#64,157
of 516,408 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Blood Advances
#24
of 175 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,847,962 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 89th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,828 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.5. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 516,408 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 175 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its contemporaries.
