Abstract excerpt
Next-generation sequencing has revealed recurring somatic mutations in Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM), including MYD88 (95%-97%), CXCR4 (30%-40%), ARID1A (17%), and CD79B (8%-15%). Deletions involving chromosome 6q are common in patients with mutated MYD88 and include genes that modulate NFKB, BCL2, Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK), and apoptosis. Patients with wild-type MYD88 WM show an increased risk of...
