B-cell lymphocytosis in relatives of Colombian patients with chronic B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders
Abstract
Introduction. Monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis generally precedes chronic lymphocytic leukemia, affecting about 12% of the healthy adult population. This frequency increases in relatives of patients with chronic B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders.
Objective. To determine the frequency of monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis in relatives of patients with chronic B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders, their immunophenotypic/cytogenetic characteristics, a possible relationship with infectious agents, and short-term follow-up in the Colombian population.
Materials and methods. Fifty healthy adults with a family history of chronic B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders were studied using multiparametric flow cytometry,
cytogenetic/serological testing, lifestyle survey, and 2-year follow-up.
Results. The frequency of monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis found was 8%, with a predominance of female gender and advanced age, increasing to 12.5% for individuals with
a family history of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Three out of four individuals presented chronic lymphocytic leukemia-type immunophenotype, all with low counts. In turn, a significantly higher number of cells/μl is observed in these individuals in T lymphocyte subpopulations, together with a greater predisposition to the disease. The described clonal populations increase over time in a non-significant manner.
Conclusions. The frequency and behavior of monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis in patients with family history of chronic B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders are like those found in related studies, which suggests that there is no involvement of more relevant genes that can trigger uncontrolled clonal proliferation, but that generates immunological deregulation that could justify a greater risk of serious infection in these individuals.
