Molecular diagnosis of T-cell lymphoma: a correlative study of PCR-based T-cell clonality assessment and targeted NGS

Abstract excerpt

Immunomorphological diagnosis of T-cell lymphoma (TCL) may be challenging, especially on needle biopsies. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays to assess T-cell receptor (TCR) gene rearrangements are now widely used to detect T-cell clones and provide diagnostic support. However, PCR assays detect only 80% of TCL, and clonal lymphocyte populations may also appear in nonneoplastic conditions. More...
