B-cell prolymphocytic leukemia causes
Introduction
Overview
Overview
Some mutations and genetic factors are thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of B-cell prolymphocytic leukemia. Some known mutations are: p53 gene mutation, 11q23 and 13q14 deletions and deletions from chromosome 11 and chromosome 13.
Genetics
- Genetic mutations like mutation or loss of p53 is thought to play a role.[1][1]
- 11q23 and 13q14 deletions are associated with B cell prolymphocytic leukemia.[2][3][4]
- t(11;14) translocation rembles the mutation of mantle cell lymphoma, which makes it harder for the clinicians to distinguish the two entities.[5][6][7]
- It can involve deletions from chromosome 11 and chromosome 13.[8]
