Background and objective: Ten-eleven translocation-2 (TET2) is member of the methylcytosine dioxygenase family and plays important roles in a variety of physiological and pathological processes; however, no bibliometric analysis has been performed to methodically evaluate the scientific research on TET2. Therefore, the aim of this study was to conduct a visual and scientometric analysis of TET2 research and to explore its current landscape, future direction, and research frontiers. Methods: Publications related to TET2 research were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) from 2009 to 2021. Excel, CiteSpace, and VOSviewer were utilized to perform the bibliometric visualization analysis. Results: A total of 2384 articles were retrieved. The number of publications on TET2 has been steadily increasing from 2009 to 2021. The USA is the top contributor to the topic, with the largest number of publications. Harvard University and the Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale were the leading institutions, while Levine RL of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center is the most prolific and influential author. In TET2-related publications, the high-frequency keywords were: “tet2”, “DNA methylation”, “5-hrdroxymethylcytosine”, “5-methylcytosine”, “mutations”, and “acute myeloid-leukemia”. Based on keyword bursts, the emerging TET2 research hotspots include “inflammation”, “gene expression”, “landscape”, and “clonal hematopoiesis”. Conclusion: Research on TET2 is constantly growing and evolving during the last decade. Here, we provide an objective and comprehensive analysis of the global status, research hotspots, and potential trends in the field of TET2 research by using a bibliometric approach. These results will assist researchers in mastering the knowledge structure and guiding the future research directions of TET2.
