Approximately 50 % of PTCL are unclassifiable and categorized as PTCL, not otherwise specified (PTCL - NOS).1 Using gene expression profiling, PTCL - NOS lymphocytes can be distinguished from normal T lymphocytes, with deregulation of genes involved in apoptosis, proliferation, cell adhesion, and transcription regulation.2 Two subgroups of PTCL - NOS have been identified, which are characterized by high expression of either GATA3 or TBX21 / T - bet transcription factors and downstream target genes.3 However, actionable biomarkers closely related to the pathogenic mechanism need to be further investigated and may become potential therapeutic targets of PTCL - NOS. 4, 5
