Association between rs 1800561 CD38 Gene Polymorphism and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Risk
Background and purpose: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common form of adult leukemia characterized by the accumulation of seemingly mature type B lymphocytes in peripheral blood and lymphatic organs. One of the main markers used in the diagnosis and prognosis of CLL is the CD38 gene. Polymorphism is considered to be a major genetic source of phenotypic change within a species an...
متن کاملCD38 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...
متن کاملCD38 gene polymorphism and chronic lymphocytic leukemia: a role in transformation to Richter syndrome?
CD38 rules proliferation signals in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells, suggesting that the molecule is not merely a prognostic marker but also a key element in the pathogenetic network underlying the disease. CD38 has a genetic polymorphism, characterized by a C>G variation in the regulatory region of intron 1. The working hypothesis is that the presence of different alleles in CLL patie...
متن کاملAnalysis of HLA-G Gene Expression in B-Lymphocytes from Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Patients
The human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G) molecule exhibits limited tissue distribution, low polymorphism and alternative splicings that generate seven HLA-G isoforms. HLA-G exerts multiple immunoregulatory functions. Recent studies indicate an ectopic up-regulation in tumor cells that may favor their escape from anti-tumor immune responses. This study it is an effort to clarify the presence of HLA...
متن کاملImmunophenotypic Characterization of the Leukemic B-cells from Iranian Patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: Association between CD38 Expression and Disease Progression
Background: Patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) have hetero-geneous clinical courses, thus several biological parameters need to be added to the cur-rent clinical staging systems to predict disease outcome. Recent immunophenotypic stud-ies performed mainly in Western populations have demonstrated the prognostic value of CD38 and ZAP-70 expression in B-CLL. Objectives: To i...
