Overview

The exact cause of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma has not been identified; however, the disease has been highly-associated with somatic mutations in MYD88 and CXR4 genes. In addition, less possible common cause of the disease includes chromosomal abnormalities.

Causes

Genetic Causes

Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma is most probably caused by a somatic mutation in the MYD88 gene (seen in 90% of cases) or CXR4 gene (seen in 30% of cases)^[1]^[2]

Less Common Causes

Less common causes of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma may include:^[3]^[4]

- Deletions of 6q23 and 13q14
- Gains of 3q13-q28, 6p and 18q
