Detection of the G17V RHOA mutation in angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma and related lymphomas using quantitative allele-specific PCR.
Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) are subtypes of T-cell lymphoma. Due to low tumor cell content and substantial reactive cell infiltration, these lymphomas are sometimes mistaken for other types of lymphomas or even non-neop...

| Sumario: | Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) are subtypes of T-cell lymphoma. Due to low tumor cell content and substantial reactive cell infiltration, these lymphomas are sometimes mistaken for other types of lymphomas or even non-neoplastic diseases. In addition, a significant proportion of PTCL-NOS cases reportedly exhibit features of AITL (AITL-like PTCL-NOS). Thus disagreement is common in distinguishing between AITL and PTCL-NOS. Using whole-exome and subsequent targeted sequencing, we recently identified G17V RHOA mutations in 60-70% of AITL and AITL-like PTCL-NOS cases but not in other hematologic cancers, including other T-cell malignancies. Here, we establish a sensitive detection method for the G17V RHOA mutation using a quantitative allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (qAS-PCR) assay. Mutated allele frequencies deduced from this approach were highly correlated with those determined by deep sequencing. This method could serve as a novel diagnostic tool for 60-70% of AITL and AITL-like PTCL-NOS. |
