BTG1 mutation yields supercompetitive B cells primed for malignant transformation

Multicellular life requires altruistic cooperation between cells. The adaptive immune system
is a notable exception, wherein germinal center B cells compete vigorously for limiting
positive selection signals. Studying primary human lymphomas and developing new mouse
models, we found that mutations affecting BTG1 disrupt a critical immune gatekeeper
mechanism that strictly limits B cell fitness during antibody affinity maturation. This
mechanism converted germinal center B cells into supercompetitors that rapidly outstrip their …
