Mature T-cell malignancies comprise a heterogeneous group of diseases with widely variable clinical courses, ranging from indolent, slowly progressing to rapidly progressing disease, leading to death. While some compounds have been found to be active in these diseases, much work remains to be done to characterize the disease entities genetically and molecularly and develop effective therapeutic options. Recent studies have found recurrent genetic mutations in the JAK/STAT pathway that contribute to the pathogenesis of T-LGL leukemia and PLL leukemia. The aim of this PhD project was to reveal new somatic mutations underlying different mature T-cell malignancies and further elucidate their functional impact on the pathogenesis of the disease....
