-==Overview==
-==Pathophysiology==
-Hairy cells are nearly mature, activated clonal cells with signs of VH gene differentiation.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://theoncologist.alphamedpress.org/cgi/content/full/11/7/780 |title=Hairy Cell Leukemia: An Elusive but Treatable Disease -- Wanko and de Castro 11 (7): 780 -- The Oncologist |accessdate=2007-09-10 |format= |work=}}</ref>  They may be related to [[memory cells]].
-===Genetics===
-While there are few [[Comparative genomic hybridization|genomic]] imbalances in the hairy cells, the [[expression]] of genes is dysregulated in a complex and specific pattern.  The cells underexpress 3p24, 3p21, 3q13.3-q22, 4p16, 11q23, 14q22-q24, 15q21-q22, 15q24-q25, and 17q22-q24 and overexpress 13q31 and Xq13.3-q21.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://bloodjournal.hematologylibrary.org/cgi/content/abstract/bloodjournal;104/1/250 |title=Comparative expressed sequence hybridization studies of hairy cell leukemia show uniform expression profile and imprint of spleen signature -- Vanhentenrijk et al. 104 (1): 250 -- Blood |accessdate=2007-09-10 |format= |work=}}</ref>  It has not yet been demonstrated that any of these changes have any practical significance to the patient.
