Overview
The exact cause of Waldenström macroglobulinemia has not been identified; however, the diesease has been highly associated with somatic mutations in MYD88 and CXR4 genes. In addition, possible less common causes of the disease include chromosomal abnormalities and environmental factors.
Causes
Genetic Causes
- Waldenström Macroglobulinemia 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 Waldenström macroglobulinemia may include:[3][4]
- 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 auto-immune disorders
