editv4:Gene Mutations (SNV/INDEL)
The content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.

Somatic activating STAT3 and STAT5b mutations are the most common SNVs in T-LGL.

Gene* Mutation Presumed Mechanism (LOF/GOF/Other; Driver/Passenger) Prevalence Additional information
STAT3
  • Src-like homologue 2 (SH2) domain of STAT3
  • Most frequently affecting codons Y640 or D661[1]
    • Also affecting:
  • Causing constitutive phosphorylation of the mutated proteins, and increased the transcriptional activity of STAT3 in vitro[10][11]
GOF 40-70%[11]
  • 17% of patients with STAT3 mutations, had multiple mutations in the STAT3 gene, solely in cytotoxic CD8+ or NK cells.[4]
  • Take caution as STAT3 mutation can also be seen in other T-cell lymphomas including hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma[12]
STAT5B
  • Src-like homologue 2 (SH2) domain of STAT5
  • Including: N642H mutation (associated with more aggressive disease)[13][14]
  • Causing constitutive phosphorylation of the mutated proteins, and increased the transcriptional activity of STAT5B in vitro[10][11]
GOF 2%[13]
TNFAIP3
  • Somatic mutations[9]
    • Y353X
    • K354K
    • Q741Q
    • E630X
    • A717T
    • F127C
LOF (Nonsense mutations)[9] Identified in 3/39 patients[9]
  • In one study three of four of the patients with non‐synonymous TNFAIP3 alterations also harbored a STAT3 mutation (p  = 0.004)[9]
  • TNFAIP3 itself is a NF‐κB target gene[15]

*More comprehensive listing of specific mutations in these genes can be found elsewhere (COSMIC, cBioPortal)

Epigenomic Alterations

  • Epigenetic inactivation of JAK/STAT pathway inhibitors
    • SOCS3 has a crucial role in regulating STAT3 activation[16]
    • An epigenetic inhibition mechanism to SOCS3 gene is hypothesized[16]
    • KIR3DL1 has been shown to be down-modulated by hypermethylation of the promoter[16]


Genes and Main Pathways Involved

Put your text here and fill in the table (Instructions: Can include references in the table. Do not delete table.)

Gene; Genetic Alteration Pathway Pathophysiologic Outcome
EXAMPLE: BRAF and MAP2K1; Activating mutations EXAMPLE: MAPK signaling EXAMPLE: Increased cell growth and proliferation
EXAMPLE: CDKN2A; Inactivating mutations EXAMPLE: Cell cycle regulation EXAMPLE: Unregulated cell division
EXAMPLE:  KMT2C and ARID1A; Inactivating mutations EXAMPLE:  Histone modification, chromatin remodeling EXAMPLE:  Abnormal gene expression program
editv4:Genes and Main Pathways Involved
The content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.
  • JAK/STAT[7]
    • Constitutive activation
  • NK-κB[7]
    • Activation of this pathway
    • Preventing apoptosis
  • T-LGL's express high levels of FAS and FASL[7]
    • Resistant to FAS mediated apoptosis
    • Leading to activation of prosurvival pathways
    • Postulated to lead to neutropenia seen in these patients.
  • RAS/RAF1/MEK1/ERK [7]
    • Overactive RAS
    • Constitutive activation of RAS and ERK
  • PI3K/AKT[7]
    • Dysregulation
    • Contributing to apoptosis inhibition

Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods

  • Morphologic assessment, flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry
  • PCR to assess for clonality, T-cell receptor (TCR) gene rearrangements
    • TCR gamma (TCRG) gene is rearranged in all cases, regardless of the type of TCR expressed, thus proves clonality[1]
      • Can be helpful in differentiating a reactive lymphocytosis from clonal T-LGL's
    • NK LGL proliferations do not express TCR, making assessment of clonality difficult[7]
      • Expression of activating isoforms of killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) can be used as a surrogate marker of clonality in NK LGL[7]

Familial Forms
