Progress of myeloid differentiation factor 88 L265P mutation in B-cell proliferative neoplasms / 白血病·淋巴瘤

ABSTRACT

Myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MYD88) is a key linker in the Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathway, which plays an important role in the progression of the tumour. Recent studies have shown that the activating mutation of MYD88 L265P has been identified in about of 90% lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma/Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia and about of 40% diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and other subtypes of B-cell proliferative neoplasms. Different types of B-cell proliferative neoplasms have their own histology, immunohistochemistry and clinical characteristics, thus, mutation rates of MYD88 L265P are different. This review discusses the latest progress of MYD88 L265P mutation in B-cell proliferative neoplasms.
