Abstract excerpt
TET2 (Ten Eleven Translocation 2) is a dioxygenase that converts methylcytosine (mC) to hydroxymethylcytosine (hmC). TET2 loss-of-function mutations are highly frequent in subtypes of T-cell lymphoma that harbor follicular helper T (Tfh)-cell-like features, such as angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (30-83%) or peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (10-49%), as well as myeloid malignancies. Here, we...
