==Overview==
==Overview==
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia arises from pre-follicular center [[B cell]]s, that are normally involved in the process of human [[immunoglobulin]] production. Development of chronic lymphocytic leukemia is the result of multiple [[genetic mutation]]s that promote both [[malignant]] leukemic [[proliferation]] and [[apoptotic]] [[resistance]] of mature [[B cells]]. Structural [[genetic mutation]]s involved in the [[pathogenesis]] of chronic lymphocytic leukemia include [[chromosome]] 13q deletion, [[chromosome 17]]<nowiki/>p deletion, and [[chromosome 11]]<nowiki/>q deletion. On [[microscopic]] [[histopathological]] analysis, characteristic findings of chronic lymphocytic leukemia include small [[lymphoid]] cells, thin [[cytoplasmic]] border, lack of [[nucleolus]], and the presence of [[Smudge cells|smudge]] cells.

Overview

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia arises from pre-follicular, center B cells, that are normally involved in the process of human immunoglobulin production. Development of chronic lymphocytic leukemia is the result of multiple genetic mutations that promote both malignant leukemic proliferation and apoptotic resistance of mature B cells. Structural genetic mutations involved in the pathogenesis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia include chromosome 13q deletion, chromosome 17p deletion, and chromosome 11q deletion. On microscopic histopathological analysis, characteristic findings of chronic lymphocytic leukemia include small lymphoid cells, thin cytoplasmic border, lack of nucleolus, and the presence of smudge cells.
