 ==[[Waldenström's macroglobulinemia historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==
-* Waldenström's macroglobulinemia was first discovered by Jan G. Waldenström, a Swedish physician in 1944 in two patients with bleeding from the nose and mouth, anemia, decreased levels of fibrinogen in the blood (hypofibrinogenemia), swollen lymph nodes, neoplastic plasma cells in bone marrow, and increased viscosity of the blood due to increased levels of a class of heavy proteins called macroglobulins.<ref name="wiki"/>
 ==[[Waldenström's macroglobulinemia classification|Classification]]==
-The World Health Organization placed Waldenström's macroglobulinemia under the category of lymphoplasmacytic lymphomas, which is a subcategory of low-grade Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.<ref name="wiki"/>
 ==[[Waldenström's macroglobulinemia pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
 ==[[Waldenström's macroglobulinemia causes|Causes]]==
-*The most common causes are a [[somatic mutation]] in MYD88 (90% of patients) and a somatic mutation in [[CXCR4]] (27% of patients).<ref name="wiki"/>
