EBV is linked to the pathogenesis of B cell, T cell and NK cell lymphoproliferations, with extranodal NK\/T cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTCL) being the prototype of an EBV-driven lymphoma. ENKTCL is an aggressive neoplasm, particularly widespread in East Asia and the native population of Latin America, which suggests a strong genetic predisposition. The link between ENKTCL and different populations has been partially explored. EBV genome sequencing analysis recognized two types of strains and identified variants of the latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1), which revealed different oncogenic potential. In general, most ENKTCL patients carry EBV type A with LMP1 wild type, although the LMP1 variant with a 30 base pair deletion is also common, especially in the EBV type B, where it is necessary for oncogenic transformation. Contemporary high-throughput mutational analyses have discovered recurrent gene mutations leading to activation of the JAK-STAT pathway, and mutations in other genes such as BCOR, DDX3X and TP53. The genomic landscape in ENKTCL highlights mechanisms of lymphomagenesis, such as immune response evasion, secondary to alterations in signaling pathways or epigenetics that directly or indirectly interfere with oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. This overview discusses the most important findings of EBV pathogenesis and genetics in ENKTCL.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cancers13061414","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,19]],"date-time":"2021-03-19T11:18:38Z","timestamp":1616152718000},"page":"1414","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":80,"title":["EBV and the Pathogenesis of NK\/T Cell Lymphoma"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0636-7623","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ivonne A.","family":"Montes-Mojarro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Pathology and Neuropathology and Comprehensive Cancer Center T\u00fcbingen, Eberhard-Karls-University, 72076 T\u00fcbingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Falko","family":"Fend","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Pathology and Neuropathology and Comprehensive Cancer Center T\u00fcbingen, Eberhard-Karls-University, 72076 T\u00fcbingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7156-5365","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leticia","family":"Quintanilla-Martinez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Pathology and Neuropathology and Comprehensive Cancer Center T\u00fcbingen, Eberhard-Karls-University, 72076 T\u00fcbingen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Swerdlow, S.H.
