Overview

NCI Definition: An aggressive T-cell leukemia, characterized by the proliferation of small to medium sized prolymphocytes with a mature T-cell phenotype, involving the blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, liver, spleen, and skin. (WHO, 2001) [1]

T-cell prolymphocytic leukemias most frequently harbor alterations in JAK3, ATM, TP53, STAT5B, and STAG2 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in T-Cell Prolymphocytic Leukemia

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