Abstract

Despite efforts to abrogate the severe threat to life posed by the profound malignancy of mature natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL), therapeutic advances still require further investigation of its inherent regulatory biochemical processes. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is an increasingly developing gene detection technique, which has been widely used in lymphoma genetic research in recent years. Targeted therapy based on the above studies has also generated a series of advances, making genetic mutation a new research hotspot in lymphoma. Advances in NKTCL-related gene mutations are reviewed in this paper.

Keywords: gene mutation; mature T-and NK-cell lymphoma; next generation sequencing.
