Put your text here and fill in the table
Due to the rarity of this lymphoma the data in recurrent chromosomal rearrangement is extremely scant. There have been chromosomal rearrangements reported in association with the aggressive NK-cell leukaemia, however, none of them are considered specific for the disease.

==Gene Mutations (SNV / INDEL)==
Mutations in the ''JAK-STAT'' pathway appear to be mutually exclusive.<ref name=":3" /> Most ''STAT3'' and ''STAT5B''  mutations localized to exons 20 and 21 encoding the Src homology 2 (SH2) domain, which causes ''STAT'' dimerization. Other mutations identified: 9p copy gains (containing ''JAK2),'' point mutation in protein tyrosine phosphatase (''PTPRK'') (tumor suppressor that negatively regulates ''STAT3''). mutations in ''PTPN4'' and ''PTPN23.<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":7" />''

Can include references in the table.

Molecular abnormalities present possible therapeutic implications. Dufva et al identified high sensitivity of ANKL cell lines to JAK and BCL2 inhibition. Other possibly effective drug classes are heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitors, polo-like kinase (PLK) inhibitors, aurora kinase (AURK) inhibitors, cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, and histone deacetylase inhibitors.<ref name=":6" />

The disease pathogenesis is regulated by a complex interplay between diverse molecular pathways especially that involving the upregulated JAK/STAT-MYC biosynthesis axis due to upstream STAT3 activation of the MYC transcription program. Thought in some cases to be as a result of highly expressed EBV-encoded small RNAs (EBERs) causing release of IL-10.<ref name=":2" />
