Overview

NCI Definition: A mature B- or T- cell leukemia with progressive clinical course. It is characterized by the presence of medium-sized lymphocytes with visible nucleoli (prolymphocytes) in the peripheral blood, bone marrow, and spleen. [1]

Prolymphocytic leukemias most frequently harbor alterations in JAK3, ATM, TP53, STAT5B, and STAG2 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Prolymphocytic Leukemia

JAK3 Mutation, ATM Mutation, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, TP53 Mutation, and TP53 Missense are the most common alterations in prolymphocytic leukemia [2].
