Overview
Common causes of Waldenström's macroglobulinemia include genetic, environmental, and autoimmune factors.[1][2]
Causes
- The most common causes of Waldenström's macroglobulinemia is somatic mutation in MYD88 (90% of patients) and CXCR4 (27% of patients).[1]
- Less common causes of Waldenström's macroglobulinemia include:
- Chromosomal abnormalities: deletions of 6q23 and 13q14, and gains of 3q13-q28, 6p and 18q
- Environmental factors including exposure to farming, pesticides, wood dust, and organic solvents
- Chronic immune stimulation and autoimmune disorders[2]
