Overview

NCI Definition: A generalized peripheral (mature) T-cell neoplasm characterized by the presence of erythroderma, lymphadenopathy, and neoplastic, cerebriform T-lymphocytes in the blood. Sezary syndrome is an aggressive disease. (WHO, 2001) [1]

Sezary syndromes most frequently harbor alterations in SETD1B, PLCG1, FAS, UBR5, and TP53 [2].

SETD1B Loss, PLCG1 S345F, UBR5 R1379W, UBR5 Mutation, and TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense are the most common alterations in sezary syndrome [2].
