Complications of Leukemia include:
-Anemia
-Infections
-Second Cancers
-Richter Transformation
-Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia
-Prolymphocytes.
Leukemia occurs when the DNA of a single cell in the bone marrow becomes damaged, this is called a mutation and changes the cell’s ability to develop and function normally. There are no detected carriers of Leukemia.
The mutation that causes acute promyelocytic leukemia involves two genes, the PML gene on chromosome 15 and the RARA gene on chromosome 17.
