DUSP22-IRF4 Rearrangement
Also known as: IRF4 Rearrangement
Use
Detection of structural rearrangements involving the DUSP22‑IRF4 gene region at 6p25.3, which are implicated in certain lymphomas—specifically anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) and large B‑cell lymphoma. The presence of this rearrangement contributes to diagnosis and may have prognostic implications.
