Q

Etiologic factors

A
  1. Chromosome abberations (gain 13 & 31, loss of 14)
  2. Germline and somatic mutations (TRAF3-MAP3k14, FBXW7, POT1)
  3. Alterations/deficiencies in DNA repair mech (goldens)
  4. +/- Helicobacter (?)
  5. +/- Phenoxyacetic acid herbicides (2,4-D)
  6. +/- Residency in industrial areas and exposure to solvents
  7. +/- Exposure to strong magnetic fields (weak)
  8. +/- Proximity to environmental waste
  9. Exposure to tobacco smoke (one study)
  10. Impaired immune function (related to primary disease vs immunosuppressive therapy)

Q

Negative prognostic biomarkers

A

Increased:
1. Lactate dehydrogenase activity
2. Thymidine kinase activity
3. Haptoglobin
4. Serum VEGF
5. Glutathione-S-transferase
6. Calcium

Decreased:
1. Serum coblamin
2. Serum albumin

Other:
Serum C- reactive protein - may characterize remission status; variable levels preclude utility
