Here, we identified a rare <jats:italic>RHOA<\/jats:italic> A161E mutation in an AITL patient through gene sequencing platforms. The patient presented with persistent hypereosinophilia, asymptomatic or symptomatic mildly for over 3\u00a0years. At diagnosis, this patient manifested night sweats, weight loss, multiple lymphadenopathies, and enlargement of the liver and spleen. We performed a retrospective genetic mutation analysis by whole-exome sequencing (WES) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) on serial gastric, intestinal, and lymph node specimens. The genetic mutation testing result demonstrated that a rare <jats:italic>RHOA<\/jats:italic> A161E mutation was found, which was elevated significantly on diagnosis related to AITL pathogenesis. Our case confirms that genetic mutation testing is helpful for diagnostic classification in AITL and dynamic monitoring of gene mutations at multiple time points may facilitate early detection of disease diagnosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fgene.2022.948744","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,14]],"date-time":"2022-07-14T07:24:10Z","timestamp":1657783450000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Case Report: Pathogenesis With a Rare RHOA A161E Mutation in a Patient With Angioimmunoblastic T-Cell Lymphoma"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Lihong","family":"Cao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hongyan","family":"Tong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xing","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yingqing","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fang","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qi","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jin","family":"Lai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jian","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiayue","family":"Qin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jie","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"202","DOI":"10.1038\/nature13480","article-title":"Comprehensive Molecular Characterization of Gastric Adenocarcinoma","volume":"513","author":"Cancer Genome Atlas Research","year":"2014","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2592","DOI":"10.1038\/s41375-020-0990-y","article-title":"Advances in Understanding of Angioimmunoblastic T-Cell Lymphoma","volume":"34","author":"Chiba","year":"2020","journal-title":"Leukemia"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"673","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2141.2009.08003.x","article-title":"Advances in the Understanding and Management of Angioimmunoblastic T-Cell Lymphoma","volume":"148","author":"de Leval","year":"2010","journal-title":"Br.
