editContent Update To WHO 5th Edition Classification Is In Process; Content Below is Based on WHO 4th Edition ClassificationThis page was converted to the new template on 2023-12-07. The original page can be found at HAEM4:Adult T-cell Leukemia/Lymphoma.
(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.

Definition / Description of Disease
Adult T-cell Leukemia/Lymphoma (ATLL) is a systemic, aggressive T-cell malignancy cause by chronic infection of human T lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1) with poor prognosis[1].
Synonyms / Terminology
Adult T-cell leukemia, Adult T-cell lymphoma, HTLV-1 associated adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma.
Epidemiology / Prevalence
ATLL is endemic in many parts of Southwestern Japan, the Caribbean basin, Sub-Saharan Africa, South America, Romania, Northern Iran, parts of the Middle East and Australo-Melanesia[2][3].
ATLL occurs only in adults between 30 to 90 years of age with an average age of 58 years. The male-to-female ratio is 1.5:1[4].
Transmission occurs through breast milk, sexual fluids, peripheral blood and blood products[2].
Clinical Features

| Signs and Symptoms | EXAMPLE: Asymptomatic (incidental finding on complete blood counts)
EXAMPLE: B-symptoms (weight loss, fever, night sweats) EXAMPLE: Fatigue EXAMPLE: Lymphadenopathy (uncommon) |
| Laboratory Findings | EXAMPLE: Cytopenias
EXAMPLE: Lymphocytosis (low level) |
editv4:Clinical FeaturesThe content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.
ATLL is classified into four clinical subtypes: Acute, Lymphoma, Chronic and Smoldering[5].
Acute: Most common type (65% of patients) with elevated WBC count, skin rash and generalized lymphadenopathy, hypercalcemia, hepatosplenomegaly, elevated LDH and frequent opportunistic infections like pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia and strongyloidiasis.
Lymphoma: The lymphomatous variant is characterized by lymphadenopathy, absence of lymphocytosis, possible extranodal lesions with minimal peripheral blood involvement and less frequent hypercalcemia.
Chronic: The chronic variant can progress to acute or lymphomatous subtype. This variant manifests with lymphocytosis and exfoliative skin lesions. Atypical lymphocytes are fewer in number in peripheral blood. There can be mild hepatosplenomegaly and lymphadenopathy. Hypercalcemia is not observed, and no involvement of CNS, bone and gastrointestinal tract, and neither ascites nor pleural effusion.
Smoldering: This variant may also progress to the acute subtype upon long duration. This variant may present with skin or lung lesions. More than 5% circulating abnormal T-cell lymphocytes can be found in the absence of leukocytosis. No manifestation of hypercalcemia, hepatosplenomegaly or lymphadenopathy.
End of V4 Section
Sites of Involvement
In addition to lymph node involvement, there is involvement in extranodal sites like spleen, skin, lung, liver, gastrointestinal tract and CNS, making this a systemic disease with peripheral blood involvement[6].
Morphologic Features
The morphological features of ATLL in skin include erythema, papules, and nodules based on macroscopic examination and perivascular infiltration of atypical lymphoid cells, diffuse infiltration of medium to large sized atypical lymphoid cells and infiltration of large atypical lymphoid cell as per histopathological observations.
Lymph node lesions present as pleomorphic small, medium and large cell types, anaplastic and an angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma type.
Infiltration of atypical lymphoid cells with irregular or round nuclei is seen in the bone marrow cavity with detection of hypercalcemia.
In liver, infiltration of atypical medium to large sized lymphoid cells with irregular nuclei is seen.
Diffuse, pleomorphic and anaplastic type cells can infiltrate the stomach destroying the gastric glands.
In peripheral blood, “flower like” cells that have multilobed nucleus with basophilic cytoplasm can be observed by Giemsa staining[7].
Immunophenotype
In most patients, tumor cells exhibit phenotype of mature CD4+ T cells by expressing CD2, CD3, CD5, CD25, CD45RO, CD29, T-cell receptor αβ, FOXP3, CD52, and HLA-DR[8][9].
Most cases are CD4+CD8-, but rarely, cases can be CD4-CD8+ or CD4+CD8+. A typical immunophenotype for ATLL is: CD2+, CD3+, CD4+, CD7-, CD8-, CD25+, CD30+/-, TCR αβ+[10].
Immunophenotypic characterization of CD3, CD4, CD7 , CD8, and CD25 are the minimum requirement for an ATLL diagnosis.

| 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
|
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 | ||

ATLL diagnosis can be made based on seropositivity for HTLV-1 and histologically and/or cytologically proven peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL). Diagnosis can also be made by quantifying proviral DNA loads (PVLs) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells using real time PCR. PVL of an infected person can range from 0.01 to 50% or higher. Other diagnostic criteria includes appropriate patient demographic information, hypercalcemia, skin lesions and a leukemic phase.
The prognosis of ATLL is largely dependent on the subtype. The acute and lymphomatous subtypes are aggressive, with a median survival of 6.2 months and 10.2 months, respectively. The less-aggressive chronic and smoldering subtypes have a median survival of approximately 4.5 years[5]. Prognostic factors include clinical variant, age, serum calcium and LDH levels as well as detection of opportunistic infections of parasitic or viral types and p16 gene deletion and p53 mutation.
As ATLL is resistant to most chemotherapy, there is no standard chemotherapy regimen. High dose combination chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation have been tried previously[12]. Monoclonal antibody-based therapies against IL-2R (anti-Tac), CCR4 (mogamulizumab) and CD52 (alemtuzumab) have also been attempted along with arsenic trioxide, interferon α and zidovudine[13].

Cytogenetic studies show that ATLL often has a complex abnormal karyotype without a single distinct abnormality. Observed recurrent abnormalities include trisomy for 3, 7 or 21 and monosomy for X as well as deletion of Y and abnormalities of chromosome 6 and 14. Chromosome 14 rearrangements involving TCRA and TCRD at 14q11 and TCL1 at 14q32 have been documented[18]. Frequent deletions in known fragile sites have been detected in over 500 patients[11].

Epigenomic Alterations
Epigenetic alterations also result in dysregulated TCR/NF-κB signaling in ATLL. DNA hypermethylation of CpG islands is detected in 1/3rd of all ATLL patients. As a result, genes involved in Cys2-His2 (C2H2) zinc finger genes and those encoding MHC class I molecules are silenced[11].
ATLL patients have high expression of polycomb repressive complex (PRC) 2 components like EZH2, its homolog EZH1 and H3K27 methylase causing accumulation of trimethylation of H3K27 and altering the expression of over half of the genes. The severity of the disease is linked to continued down regulation of genes[21].

editv4:Genes and Main Pathways InvolvedThe content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.
The most important genes involved in the development and progress of ATLL are the Tax and HBZ contributed by the HTLV-1 virus and genes listed in gene mutations table (above) from the host. The main pathways involved are TCR-NF-κB signaling by gain of function and amplifications in PLCG1, VAV1 and FYN, CD28, PRKCB, CARD11, IRF4 and RHOA; and loss of function mutations or deletions in CBLB, TRAF, TNFAIP3 and CSNK1A1[11].
Genes involving the immune surveillance program are also heavy altered to evade the immune response either by deletions in MHC class1 molecules, CD58, FAS or constitutive activation of PD-L1.
Genes involved in the Lymphocyte activation and differentiation(IRF4, GATA3, IKZF2) are also altered.
Chemokine receptors including CCR4 and CCR7 are responsible for the infiltration of neoplastic cells into other organs along with activation of PI3K/AKT signaling.
The epigenetic mechanism is also exploited to alter gene expression and promote ATLL progression as explained above.
End of V4 Section
Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods
Initial diagnosis of ATLL should include a comprehensive physical exam with skin evaluation and CT scans of the chest, abdomen and pelvis. The laboratory evaluation should include: a complete blood count (CBC), metabolic panel (serum electrolyte levels, calcium, creatinine and blood urea nitrogen) and serum LDH levels. Testing methods including PCR, Flow Cytometry, ELISA, serology, and immunohistochemistry in addition to morphologic studies may be employed to diagnose ATLL[10].
