Overview
The causes of mantle cell lymphoma have not been clearly identified.
Causes
- Mantle cell lymphoma, like most malignancies, results from the acquisition of a combination of (non-inherited) genetic mutations in somatic cells.
- The typical mutation occurring in mantle cell lymphoma due to the “reciprocal translocation” between chromosome 11 and 14 t(11;14) causes the over expression of cyclin D1 which results in uncontrolled growth of B cells leading to lymphoma development.
- Recently, weak associations have been observed in the development of mantle cell lymphoma with the following:
- With exposure to European strains of Borellia burgdoferi.[1]
- Family history of hematologic malignancy.[2]
- Genetic polymorphisms in the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-10.[3]
However, factors that initiate the genetic alterations are typically not identifiable, and usually occur in people with no particular risk factors for lymphoma development.
