<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).

Haematolymphoid Tumours (WHO Classification, 5th ed.)

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.)

Epigenomic Alterations

  • Epigenetic inactivation of JAK/STAT pathway inhibitors
    • SOCS3 has a crucial role in regulating STAT3 activation[39]
    • An epigenetic inhibition mechanism to SOCS3 gene is hypothesized[39]
    • KIR3DL1 has been shown to be down-modulated by hypermethylation of the promoter[39]
    • Mutations in KMT2D and TET2 have been found to significantly co-occur with STAT3 mutations[23]

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[3]
    • 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[1]
      • Expression of activating isoforms of killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) can be used as a surrogate marker of clonality in NK LGL[1]
  • Myeloid neoplasms may present with clonal large granular lymphocyte expansion with STAT3/STAT5B mutations. Next generation sequencing can be diagnostically useful in these cases[40]

Familial Forms

  • No known familiar forms as of yet.

Additional Information

  • PI3K-Akt has been found to be upregulated in KLRG1- CD8+ T-LGLL. Studies are being conducted to examine treatment with linperlisib.[41]
  • Myleoid clonal hematopoiesis is associated with the presence of cytopenia in LGLL[25]
