Abstract

The homeobox NKX2 family of transcriptional factors has been shown to regulate fundamental developmental processes. Here, the authors show that NKX2-3 is a bona fideoncogenic driver in marginal-zone B-cell lymphoma and that it promotes lymphomagenesis by shaping lymphocyte dynamics and promoting BCR signalling.
