THYROID MALT LYMPHOMA: SELF-HARM TO GAIN POTENTIAL T-CELL HELP
28 October 2021 | The development of extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) is driven by chronic inflammatory responses and acquired genetic changes. To investigate its genetic bases, we performed targeted sequencing of 93 genes in 131 MALT lymphomas including 76 from the thyroid. We found frequent deleterious mutations of TET2 (86%), CD274 (53%), TNFRSF14 (53%) and TNFAIP3 (30%) in thyroid MALT lymphoma.
