(General Instructions – The main focus of these pages is the clinically significant genetic alterations in each disease type. 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). 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.

Cancer Category / Type

Cancer Sub-Classification / Subtype

  • Hairy Cell Leukemia Variant (HCLv)

Definition / Description of Disease

  • HCLv is a rare chronic neoplasm of B-cell origin seen mostly in adults
  • Name derives from clinicopathologic similarity to hairy cell leukemia (HCL) but with important differences
  • Marked splenomegaly and marrow infiltration result in left flank discomfort, fatigue, and susceptibility to infections
  • Most respond poorly to monotherapy with a purine analog or interferon alpha (used for HCL)
  • Lack BRAF p.Val600Glu (V600E) mutations but some have mutations in MAP2K1

Synonyms / Terminology

  • Prolymphocytic variant of hairy cell leukemia

Epidemiology / Prevalence

  • ~0.2% of lymphoid leukemias
  • Median age: 70 years
  • Males:Females: 2:1

‡Specific mutations in these genes can be found in cBioPortal and COSMIC.

  • There is wide variation in the reported prevalence of MAP2K1 mutations across studies for unclear reasons

Epigenomic Alterations

  • Epigenetic dysregulation is expected in a subset of HCLv due to mutations in epigenetic regulators:
    • KMT2C is a histone methyltransferase
    • KDM6A is a histone demethylase
    • CREBBP is a histone acetyltransferase
    • ARID1A is a SWI/SNF family member

Genes and Main Pathways Involved

Put your text here and fill in the table (Instructions: Can include references in 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

Molecular feature Pathway Physiologic outcome
MAP2K1 activating mutations MAPK signaling Unregulated cell growth and proliferation
KMT2C, KDM6A, CREBBP, and ARID1A LOF mutations Histone modification, chromatin remodeling Abnormal gene expression program
TP53 LOF mutations DNA damage, apoptosis Cell survival and genomic instability

Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods

  • HCLv is a provisional entity and definitive diagnostic criteria have not been determined
  • BRAF p.Val600Glu testing may be useful diagnostically in limited situations to exclude HCL
  • BRAF p.Val600Glu may be detected by IHC using a mutant-specific antibody[10][11] or various molecular methods (NGS, real-time PCR, massARRAY, etc.)
  • The mutant-specific antibody does not detect other BRAF mutations
  • BRAF p.Val600Glu and Non-p.Val600Glu mutations and MAP2K1 mutations can be interrogated with NGS in a single assay[2]
  • IGHV4-34 utilization can be detected by NGS and Sanger sequencing of IgH mRNA

Familial Forms

  • Not described
