Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by the presence of serum IgM paraproteins associated with bone marrow infiltration of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma.
Some years ago, using whole genome sequencing Treon et al. identified MYD88 (L265P) as the most common somatic mutation in WM. The second most common mutations in WM are nonsense or frameshift mutations in the carboxyl-terminal cytoplasmic tail of the CXCR4 gene.
