Association of CSF1R, MYD88 and TNFα Gene Mutations and Expression Levels with B Cell Markers in Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Summary           B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas are a haematologically, genetically, and clinically heterogeneous group of neoplasms, with most emerging from B lymphocytes in the germinal centre. It accounts for approximately 90% of all non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas. Diffuse large B-cell lymphomas, follicular lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, and B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma are typical B-NHL subtypes. The current study
