What happens during the disease - hairy-cell leukaemia
Hairy-cell leukaemia is a rare type of b-cell non-hodgkin lymphoma caused by a genetic mutation in the braf gene. this mutation causes the b-cells to continuously divide and produce abnormal b-cells, known as hairy-cells, which accumulate in the bone marrow and interfere with the production of normal blood cells. the accumulation of these abnormal cells can lead to anemia, fatigue, weight loss, and other symptoms.
