Abstract excerpt
BRAF V600E is a disease defining mutation for hairy cell leukemia (HCL), which helps in its diagnosis and differentiation from morphologically similar splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) and HCL-variant (HCL-v). Forty eight cases:HCL(n = 34), SMZL(n = 11) and HCL-v(n = 3) were included. Of thes...
