Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common cutaneous T-cell lymphoma; it arises from tissue-resident memory T-cells (T). In the present study, we investigated potential functional genetic variations that may predispose MF development.
A case-control study was conducted using whole-exome sequencing, with a focus on genes that are essential to T function.
We included 21 patients and 19 healthy subjects in the study. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the following genes were significantly more common in patients than in healthy subjects: , , , and . Moreover, the number of patients carrying single nucleotide polymorphisms in , , and was significantly greater in the patient group than in the control group.
The presence of genetic variations in one or more T functional gene may predispose patients to develop MF. Further studies involving a larger patient population and a comparative analysis of protein expression will be necessary to validate these findings.
蕈样肉芽肿(MF)是最常见的皮肤 T 细胞淋巴瘤,起源于组织驻留记忆 T 细胞(T)。本研究旨在探讨可能导致 MF 发生的潜在功能遗传变异。
采用全外显子组测序进行病例对照研究,重点关注对 T 细胞功能至关重要的基因。
本研究纳入 21 例患者和 19 例健康对照者。与健康对照者相比,患者中存在以下基因单核苷酸多态性的比例显著更高: 、 、 、 。此外,患者中携带 、 、 单核苷酸多态性的数量显著多于对照组。
一个或多个 T 功能基因的遗传变异可能使患者易患 MF。需要进一步开展涉及更大患者群体的研究,并对蛋白表达进行比较分析,以验证这些发现。
