<p>Molecular phenotyping techniques have established a landscape of genomic variants in diagnostic Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), however these have not yet been applied in large scale studies of relapsed/refractory DLBCL resulting in incomplete characterization of mechanisms driving tumor progression and treatment resistance. Here, we performed an integrated multiomic analysis on relapsed/refractory DLBCL samples. Tumors from 87 relapsed/refractory DLBCL patients were included in this study and were available for data deposition [Tumor whole exome sequencing (WES): n=75, Germline WES: n=73, RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq): n=72]. Tumor DNA was extracted from formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue sections, germline DNA was extracted from blood, and WES of all samples was performed using the Agilent SureSelect XT All Exon v6 kit and sequencing was carried out on an Illumina NovaSeq, 100 x 2 paired end reads. Tumor RNA was extracted from FFPE tissue sections and RNA-Seq was performed using the Illumina TruSeq RNA Exome Kit (Illumina) for library preparation, sequencing platform HiSeq 4000, 100 x 2 paired end reads.</p>
