Concurrence of Myelodysplastic syndromes and large granular lymphocyte leukemia: clinicopathological features, mutational profile and gene ontology analysis in a single center.

ABSTRACT: The concurrence of Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and large granular lymphocyte leukemia (LGLL) has been reported in a small group of patients and might suggest an etiologic relationship rather than a simple coincidence. In this present study, clinicopathological features were detailed in ten cases of MDS concurrent with LGLL (MDS-LGLL). These cases included seven patients with T-LGLL, two with mixed-phenotype LGLL, and one with CLPD-NK. Subsequently, gene mutation screening for commonly myeloid-related or lymphoid-related genes was performed in MDS-LGLL patients by using next generation sequencing (NGS). The genes with the highest frequency of mutations were ASXL1 (3/10, 30%) and STAG2 (3/10, 30%) among a panel of 114 genes. LGLL-associated mutations of STAT3 (2/10,
