Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a heterogeneous disease with most patients following an aggressive clinical course while others have an indolent behavior. We performed an integrative and multidisciplinary analysis of 177 MCL to determine whether the immunogenetic features of the clonotypic B cell receptors may identify different subsets of tumors. ‘Truly unmutated’ (100% identity) IGHV genes were found in 24% cases, 40% were ‘minimally/borderline mutated’ (99.9-97%), 19% ‘significantly mutated’ (96.9-95%) and 17% ‘hypermutated’ (<95%). Tumors with high (≥97%) or low (<97%) mutational load used different IGHV genes and their gene expression profiles were also different for several gene pathways. A gene set enrichment analysis showed that MCL with high and low IGHV mutations were enriched in memory and naïve B-cell signatures, respectively. Furthermore, the highly mutated tumors displayed less genomic complexity, were preferentially SOX11 negative, and showed more frequently non-nodal disease. The best cut-off of germline identity of IGHV genes to predict survival was 3%. Patients with high and low mutational load had significant different outcome with 5-year overall survival of 59% and 40%, respectively (P=0.004). Nodal presentation and SOX11 expression also predicted for poor overall survival. In a multivariate analysis, IGHV gene status and SOX11 expression were independent risk factors. In conclusion, these observations suggest the idea that MCL with mutated IGHV, SOX11 negativity, and non-nodal presentation correspond to a subtype of the disease with more indolent behavior.
