<span style="color:#0070C0">(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 [https://www.genenames.org/ <u>HUGO-approved gene names and symbols</u>] (italicized when appropriate), [https://varnomen.hgvs.org/ <u>HGVS-based nomenclature for variants</u>], 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 </span><u>[[Author_Instructions]]</u><span style="color:#0070C0"> and [[Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)|<u>FAQs</u>]] as well as contact your [[Leadership|<u>Associate Editor</u>]] or [mailto:CCGA@cancergenomics.org <u>Technical Support</u>].)</span>

Gene Rearrangements

Approximately half of CAEBV cases show monoclonal T-cell gene rearrangements.

  • Multiple different chromosomal aberrations have been reported, approximately 7% of cases[6]

  • Intragenic deletions in the EBV genome may be detected (~35% of cases)[8]. Intragenic deletions in EBV were also detected in other EBV-associated neoplasms, but were not reported in patients with infectious mononucleosis or posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD)[8]

Gene Mutations (SNV/INDEL)

  • Somatic mutations can be detected in a subset of CAEBV cases (~29%).[8]
  • DDX3X mutations are the most commonly implicated known driver mutations. [8]
    • Mutations in KMT2D, KMT2B, BCOR/BCORL1, TET2, KDM6A, NFKB1, and ARID1a have also been described.[8][9]
  • In one study, identical driver mutations were detected in different cell lineages (T, B, and NK), demonstrating that EBV infected a common lymphoid progenitor in CAEBV patients. Acquisition of somatic, driver mutations in these pre-malignant, EBV-infected cells subsequently leads to clonal evolution in multiple cell lines.[8]
  • Presence of a driver mutation associated with shorter overall survival[8]

Epigenomic Alterations

A high CPG-island methylation pattern has been described in a subtype of NK-cell CAEBV with a poor prognosis; these high methylation cases also showed higher tumor mutational burden (TMB) and frequent copy number alterations (CNAs).[7]

Genes and Main Pathways Involved

Gene; Genetic Alteration Pathway Pathophysiologic Outcome
DDX3X Encodes RNA helicase Involved in cell signaling, transcriptional regulation, and viral replication. [11]

Exact role in CAEBV-pathogenesis not fully elucidated.[7]

Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods

  • Both the WHO 5th edition and International Consensus Classification (ICC) include detection of increased EBV DNA in the peripheral blood (>10,000 IU/mL in ICC criteria) and/or EBV RNA (EBER) or viral protein in T or NK-cells of affected tissues.[3][4][12]
    • Whole blood or peripheral blood mononuclear cells are preferred for EBV DNA PCR testing, as serum or plasma are less sensitive for CAEBV disease[13]
    • In tissues, using a double stain for B, T, or NK-cell markers and EBV is recommended.

Familial Forms

  • Germline mutations have only rarely been detected in CAEBV[14]

Additional Information

  • CAEBV shows an increased prevalence in populations from Asia and Latin America, suggesting a potential for genetic polymorphisms in immune-modulating genes to play a role in disease pathogenesis.[15] [16]
  • EBV clonality testing showed monoclonality (84%), oligoclonality (11%), or polyclonality (5%).[17] TCR clonality testing is described above (see gene rearrangements)
