Other leukaemias of specified cell type - what does this mean
Other leukaemias of specified cell type are caused by a genetic mutation in the dna of a particular type of white blood cell, resulting in an overproduction of abnormal white blood cells. this leads to an accumulation of these cells in the bone marrow, preventing the normal production of healthy red and white blood cells.
What happens during the disease - other leukaemias of specified cell type
Other leukaemias of specified cell type are caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors that lead to the accumulation of mutations in the dna of certain white blood cells. these mutations can cause the cells to grow and divide abnormally, leading to an excessive production of white blood cells that can interfere with the body's normal blood cell production and circulation.
