Abstract:
Next generation sequencing (NGS) technology has led to a burst of disease-relevant molecular information in a variety of lymphoid tumors, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, Waldenström macroglobulinemia, hairy cell leukemia, and splenic marginal zone lymphoma. Beside disclosing comprehensive catalogs of somatic mutations and new insights into the genes that contribute to cellular transformation, NGS has also provided molecular clues useful for addressing a number of unmet clinical needs in the field of B-cell tumor management, including biomarkers for disease diagnosis and classification improvement (i.e. mutations of BRAF, MYD88 and NOTCH2), and new targets to be translated into therapeutic interventions (i.e. BCR, TLR, NOTCH, NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways). This review summarizes the molecular lesions of signaling pathways that have been discovered in B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders by NGS studies.

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.

Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...
