Associated Genetic Biomarkers

Overview

NCI Definition: Rare tumors that affect the hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues. The cells of origin are the histiocytes and accessory cells. They can occur at any age and show no significant variations in geographical distribution. This category includes the histiocytic sarcoma, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, Langerhans cell sarcoma, interdigitading dendritic cell sarcoma/tumor, follicular dendritic cell sarcoma/tumor, and dendritic cell sarcoma, not otherwise specified. (WHO, 2001) [1]

Histiocytic and dendritic cell neoplasms most frequently harbor alterations in BRAF, TET2, MAP2K1, KRAS, and DNMT3A [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Histiocytic and Dendritic Cell Neoplasm

BRAF Mutation, BRAF Exon 15 Mutation, BRAF Codon 600 Missense, BRAF V600E, and MAP2K1 Mutation are the most common alterations in histiocytic and dendritic cell neoplasm [2].
