Genetics
- The most common gene involved in the pathogenesis of hairy cell leukemia is BRAF V600E mutations.
- The BRAF V600E mutations is present in all patients with hairy cell leukemia classic.
- The BRAF V600E mutations is not present in patients with hairy cell leukemia variant.[1]
- Other genes involved in the pathogenesis of hairy cell leukemia include:
- Under expression of c
