Polygenic Risk Score and Risk of Monoclonal B-cell Lymphocytosis in Caucasians and Risk of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) in African Americans [PDF]
Monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (MBL) is a precursor to CLL. Other than age, sex, and CLL family-history, little is known about factors associated with MBL risk.

Paraneoplastic progressive encephalomyelitis with rigidity and myoclonus associated with monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis in the setting of longstanding methotrexate use: case report [PDF]
Progressive encephalomyelitis with rigidity and myoclonus (PERM) is a rare but debilitating disease within the stiff person syndrome (SPS) spectrum characterised by muscle rigidity, spasms, myoclonus, dysautonomia, and brainstem dysfunction.

Warthin’s Tumor Involved by Monoclonal B-Cell Lymphocytosis: A Case Report [PDF]
Warthin’s tumor is a benign salivary gland neoplasm characterized by oncocytic epithelium and lymphoid stroma. We describe the incidental discovery of a CD5-positive monoclonal B-cell population within a classic Warthin’s tumor of the parotid gland in a ...

Host virus and pneumococcus-specific immune responses in high-count monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis and chronic lymphocytic leukemia: implications for disease progression [PDF]
Patients diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) display a high incidence of infections due to an associated immunodeficiency that includes hypogammaglobulinemia.

Risk of incident melanoma among individuals with low count monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (MBL) [PDF]
PURPOSE Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)–phenotype monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (MBL) is a premalignant condition that is roughly 500-fold more common than CLL. It is unknown whether the two-fold increased risk of developing melanoma associated with

Paroxysmal Cold Hemoglobinuria Associated With Monoclonal B-Cell Lymphocytosis in an Elderly Patient: A Report of a Rare Case [PDF]
We report the case of an 86-year-old male with chronic anemia who presented with indirect hyperbilirubinemia, undetectable haptoglobin, and reticulocytosis. The peripheral smear showed no schistocytes.

Tumor mutational load is prognostic for progression to therapy among high-count monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis [PDF]
Key Points • Tumor mutational load is a strong prognostic factor for progression to therapy among individuals with HCMBL, independent of CLL-IPI.• Accounting for both CLL-IPI and tumor mutational load, we identified individuals with HCMBL who have a ...

A Single‐Center Retrospective Study of the Investigation of Monoclonal B‐Cell Lymphocytosis (MBL) and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) in Southwestern Ontario: Are We Over‐Investigating? [PDF]
Monoclonal B‐cell lymphocytosis (MBL) is a common cause of lymphocytosis in older individuals. Although cytogenetic/molecular testing is usually reserved for patients requiring treatment, recent studies suggest that early testing may have a prognostic ...
