Overview

NCI Definition: A provisional entity describing precursor lymphoid neoplasms that express CD56 and immature T-cell markers, lack B-lymphoid and myeloid markers, and have the immunoglobulin and T-cell receptor genes in the germline configuration. [1]

Natural killer cell lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphomas most frequently harbor alterations in TYK2, TET2, STAT3, NSD1, and FAT1 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Natural Killer Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia/Lymphoma

TYK2 P1181L, TYK2 Mutation, TET2 R1216*, TET2 Nonsense, and TET2 Mutation are the most common alterations in natural killer cell lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma [2].
