Abstract

Distinguishing chronic lymphoproliferative disorders of NK cells (CLPD-NK) from reactive NK-cell expansion is challenging. We assessed the value of killer immunoglobulin-like receptor(KIR) phenotyping and targeted high-throughput sequencing in a cohort of 114 consecutive patients with NK cell proliferation, retrospectively assigned to a CLPD-NK group (n = 46) and a reactive NK group (n = 68). We then developed an NK-cell clonality score combining flow cytometry and molecular profiling with a positive predictive value of 93%. STAT3 and TET2 mutations were respectively identified in 27% and 34% of the patients with CLPD-NK, constituting a new diagnostic hallmark for this disease. TET2-mutated CLPD-NK preferentially exhibited a CD16low phenotype, more frequently displayed a lower platelet count, and was associated with other hematologic malignancies such as myelodysplasia. To explore the mutational clonal hierarchy of CLPD-NK, we performed whole-exome sequencing of sorted, myeloid, T, and NK cells and found that TET2 mutations were shared by myeloid and NK cells in 3 of 4 cases. Thus, we hypothesized that TET2 alterations occur in early hematopoietic progenitors which could explain a potential link between CLPD-NK and myeloid malignancies. Finally, we analyzed the transcriptome by RNA sequencing of 7 CLPD-NK and evidenced 2 groups of patients. The first group displayed STAT3 mutations or SOCS3 methylation and overexpressed STAT3 target genes. The second group, including 2 TET2-mutated cases, significantly underexpressed genes known to be downregulated in angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma. Our results provide new insights into the pathogenesis of NK-cell proliferative disorders and, potentially, new therapeutic opportunities.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
