BRAF Mutation in Hairy Cell Leukemia
BRAF is a serine/threonine kinase with a regulatory role in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. A mutation in the RAF gene, especially in BRAF protein, leads to an increased stimulation of this cascade, causing uncontrolled cell division and development of malignancy. Several mutations have been observed in the gene coding for this protein in a variety of human malign...
متن کاملNew mutation in hairy cell leukemia.
In this issue of Blood, Dietrich et al make the first observation of the presence of deleterious CDKN1B mutation in 16% of patients with hairy cell leukemia (HCL). Furthermore, in the majority of patients, the CDKN1B mutation was clonal, suggesting that this mutation plays a role in the pathogenesis of HCL.
متن کاملEvidence of canonical somatic hypermutation in hairy cell leukemia.
To compare hairy cell leukemia (HCL) with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and normal B cells with respect to their B-cell receptors, somatic hypermutation (SHM) features in HCL were examined in a series of 130 immunoglobulin gene heavy chain rearrangements, including 102 from 100 classic (HCLc) and 28 from 26 variant (HCLv) patients. The frequency of unmutated rearrangements in HCLc was much...
متن کاملHairy cell leukemia: at the crossroad of somatic mutation and isotype switch.
Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) commonly expresses multiple immunoglobulin isotypes, a feature rare in other B-cell malignancies or in normal B cells. In HCL, there is no phenotypic evidence for subpopulations, and single cells from one previous case contained transcripts for several isotypes. This raises the questions of the differentiation status of the cell of origin and of posttransformation even...
متن کاملRecurrent CDKN1B (p27) mutations in hairy cell leukemia.
Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is marked by near 100% mutational frequency of BRAFV600E mutations. Recurrent cooperating genetic events that may contribute to HCL pathogenesis or affect the clinical course of HCL are currently not described. Therefore, we performed whole exome sequencing to explore the mutational landscape of purine analog refractory HCL. In addition to the disease-defining BRAFV600...
