Bilateral Breast Non-mass Enhancement Due to Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

CD38 gene polymorphisms and genetic susceptibility to chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Introduction: CLL is one of the most common leukemias, which is categorized by the accumulation of mature CD5+ B-lymphocytes in the peripheral blood, bone marrow, and secondary lymphoid organs. In this study, the status of rs6449182 polymorphism of the CD38 gene and its association with clinical and laboratory parameters of CLL patients was evaluated. Methods: Genomic DNA extraction was perfor...

Urinary Bladder Mass Due To Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia.

Bilateral occipital lobe invasion in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

In October 2004, a 58-year-old, alcoholic Japanese man was referred to our hospital with a temporary seizure. He also had a history of leukocytosis for about 10 years without any therapeutic agents, and chronic inflammatory disorders. His WBC counts were 36 10/ L, hemoglobin level was 10.0g/dL, and platelet counts were 11.2 10/ L. The leukocytosis was almost entirely comprised of small round ma...

The role of microRNA in acute/chronic, myeloid/lymphocytic leukemia

MicroRNAs are small, non-coding sequences that regulate gene expression by inducing degradation or translational inhibition of target mRNAs. These molecules control many intracellular physiological and pathological processes.Abnormal expression of these moleculs has been described in different cancers including hematopoietic cancers. According to the type of cancer and the stage, miRNA’s expres...
