Haematolymphoid Tumours (WHO Classification, 5th ed.)

This page is under construction

editContent Update To WHO 5th Edition Classification Is In Process; Content Below is Based on WHO 4th Edition Classification

This page was converted to the new template on 2023-12-07. The original page can be found at HAEM4:T-cell Large Granular Lymphocytic Leukemia.

(General Instructions – The focus of these pages is the clinically significant genetic alterations in each disease type. This is based on up-to-date knowledge from multiple resources such as PubMed and the WHO classification books. The CCGA is meant to be a supplemental resource to the WHO classification books; the CCGA captures in a continually updated wiki-stye manner the current genetics/genomics knowledge of each disease, which evolves more rapidly than books can be revised and published. If the same disease is described in multiple WHO classification books, the genetics-related information for that disease will be consolidated into a single main page that has this template (other pages would only contain a link to this main page). Use HUGO-approved gene names and symbols (italicized when appropriate), HGVS-based nomenclature for variants, as well as generic names of drugs and testing platforms or assays if applicable. Please complete tables whenever possible and do not delete them (add N/A if not applicable in the table and delete the examples); to add (or move) a row or column in a table, click nearby within the table and select the > symbol that appears. Please do not delete or alter the section headings. The use of bullet points alongside short blocks of text rather than only large paragraphs is encouraged. Additional instructions below in italicized blue text should not be included in the final page content. Please also see Author_Instructions and FAQs as well as contact your Associate Editor or Technical Support.)

Driver Gene	Fusion(s) and Common Partner Genes	Molecular Pathogenesis	Typical Chromosomal Alteration(s)	Prevalence -Common >20%, Recurrent 5-20% or Rare <5% (Disease)	Diagnostic, Prognostic, and Therapeutic Significance - D, P, T	Established Clinical Significance Per Guidelines - Yes or No (Source)	Clinical Relevance Details/Other Notes
EXAMPLE: ABL1	EXAMPLE: BCR::ABL1	EXAMPLE: The pathogenic derivative is the der(22) resulting in fusion of 5’ BCR and 3’ABL1.	EXAMPLE: t(9;22)(q34;q11.2)	EXAMPLE: Common (CML)	EXAMPLE: D, P, T	EXAMPLE: Yes (WHO, NCCN)	EXAMPLE: The t(9;22) is diagnostic of CML in the appropriate morphology and clinical context (add reference). This fusion is responsive to targeted therapy such as Imatinib (Gleevec) (add reference). BCR::ABL1 is generally favorable in CML (add reference).
EXAMPLE: CIC	EXAMPLE: CIC::DUX4	EXAMPLE: Typically, the last exon of CIC is fused to DUX4. The fusion breakpoint in CIC is usually intra-exonic and removes an inhibitory sequence, upregulating PEA3 genes downstream of CIC including ETV1, ETV4, and ETV5.	EXAMPLE: t(4;19)(q25;q13)	EXAMPLE: Common (CIC-rearranged sarcoma)	EXAMPLE: D		EXAMPLE: DUX4 has many homologous genes; an alternate translocation in a minority of cases is t(10;19), but this is usually indistinguishable from t(4;19) by short-read sequencing (add references).
EXAMPLE: ALK	EXAMPLE: ELM4::ALK Other fusion partners include KIF5B, NPM1, STRN, TFG, TPM3, CLTC, KLC1	EXAMPLE: Fusions result in constitutive activation of the ALK tyrosine kinase. The most common ALK fusion is EML4::ALK, with breakpoints in intron 19 of ALK. At the transcript level, a variable (5’) partner gene is fused to 3’ ALK at exon 20. Rarely, ALK fusions contain exon 19 due to breakpoints in intron 18.	EXAMPLE: N/A	EXAMPLE: Rare (Lung adenocarcinoma)	EXAMPLE: T		EXAMPLE: Both balanced and unbalanced forms are observed by FISH (add references).
EXAMPLE: ABL1	EXAMPLE: N/A	EXAMPLE: Intragenic deletion of exons 2–7 in EGFR removes the ligand-binding domain, resulting in a constitutively active tyrosine kinase with downstream activation of multiple oncogenic pathways.	EXAMPLE: N/A	EXAMPLE: Recurrent (IDH-wildtype Glioblastoma)	EXAMPLE: D, P, T

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^[6] Also affecting: N647I^[7] K658S^[7] Causing constitutive phosphorylation of the mutated proteins, and increased the transcriptional activity of STAT3 in vitro^[8]^[9]	GOF	40-70%^[9]	17% of patients with STAT3 mutations, had multiple mutations in the STAT3 gene, solely in cytotoxic CD8+ or NK cells.^[1] Take caution as STAT3 mutation can also be seen in other T-cell lymphomas including hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma^[10]
STAT5B	Src-like homologue 2 (SH2) domain of STAT5 Including: N642H mutation (associated with more aggressive disease)^[11]^[12] Causing constitutive phosphorylation of the mutated proteins, and increased the transcriptional activity of STAT5B in vitro^[8]^[9]	GOF	2%^[11]	Take caution as STAT5B mutations can also be seen in other T-cell lymphomas including hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma^[10] N642H mutation is associated with CD3+/CD56+ phenotype^[12]

Epigenomic Alterations

Epigenetic inactivation of JAK/STAT pathway inhibitors
- SOCS3 has a crucial role in regulating STAT3 activation^[14]
- An epigenetic inhibition mechanism to SOCS3 gene is hypothesized^[14]
- KIR3DL1 has been shown to be down-modulated by hypermethylation of the promoter^[14]

Genes and Main Pathways Involved

Put your text here and fill in the table (Instructions: Please include references throughout the table. Do not delete the 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^[4]
- Constitutive activation
NK-κB^[4]
- Activation of this pathway
- Preventing apoptosis
T-LGL's express high levels of FAS and FASL^[4]
- Resistant to FAS mediated apoptosis
- Leading to activation of prosurvival pathways
- Postulated to lead to neutropenia seen in these patients.
RAS/RAF1/MEK1/ERK ^[4]
- Overactive RAS
- Constitutive activation of RAS and ERK
PI3K/AKT^[4]
- Dysregulation
- Contributing to apoptosis inhibition

End of V4 Section

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^[6]
  - 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^[4]
  - Expression of activating isoforms of killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) can be used as a surrogate marker of clonality in NK LGL^[4]
