Except for adult T cell lymphoma/leukemia, the majority of peripheral T-NHL types have low malignant potential but can still cause meningeosis with pronounced alterations of the CD4/CD8 T cell ratio, high proportions of CD4+CD8+ double positive T cells, and the loss of expression of normally expressed markers, such as CD7 or CD5 [17]. The gene discussed is CD4; the disease is adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma.
