ABSTRACT
Many B cell cancers are characterized in part by the dysregulation of the NF-
B signaling pathway. A new study identifies somatic mutations in TNFAIP3, the gene encoding the NF-
B inhibitor A20, in Hodgkin lymphomas and primary mediastinal lymphomas. These data reveal the role of A20 as a tumor suppressor protein.
