Genetic Findings

Due to the myeloid lineage, clonal rearrangements of lymphoid (T cell receptor; B cell receptor) genes are not seen. The genome of the Epstein Barr virus (EBV) is detected in many cases, along with a variety of chromosomal abnormalities.[2] Wong KF, Zhang YM, Chan JK. "Cytogenetic abnormalities in natural killer cell lymphoma/leukaemia--is there a consistent pattern?" Leuk Lymphoma. 1999 Jul;34(3-4):241-50.
