Genetic variations in BCL3 gene have been associated with late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. β-amyloid accumulation in neurons of Alzheimer's patients results in activation of NF-κB, which induces BCL3 expression. [16] Increased expression of BCL3 has been observed in the brains of patients with LOAD. [17]
B-cell CLL/lymphoma refers to a family of genes associated with certain types of lymphoma and leukemia. Although named for B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, they can be associated with other malignancies. Members include: CCND1 (also known as "BCL1") BCL2; BCL3; BCL5; BCL6, BCL6B; BCL7A, BCL7B, BCL7C; BCL8; BCL9; BCL10; BCL11A, BCL11B
CLL is the most common type of leukemia in the UK, accounting for 38% of all leukemia cases. Approximately 3,200 people were diagnosed with the disease in 2011. [91] In Western populations, subclinical "disease" can be identified in 3.5% of normal adults, [92] and in up to 8% of individuals over the age of 70. [93]
Whereas acute leukemia must be treated immediately, chronic forms are sometimes monitored for some time before treatment to ensure maximum effectiveness of therapy. Chronic leukemia mostly occurs in older people but can occur in any age group. Additionally, the diseases are subdivided according to which kind of blood cell is affected.
Lymphoid leukemias are a group of leukemias affecting circulating lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell.The lymphocytic leukemias are closely related to lymphomas of the lymphocytes, to the point that some of them are unitary disease entities that can be called by either name (for example, adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma).

A B-cell leukemia is any of several types of lymphoid leukemia which affect B cells. [1] Types include (with ICD-O code): [citation needed] 9823/3 – B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma; 9826/3 – Acute lymphoblastic leukemia, mature B-cell type; 9833/3 – B-cell prolymphocytic leukemia
Splenic B-cell lymphoma/leukemia unclassifiable: The rare reports on this lymphoma find the monoclonal B cells to be CD19+, CD20+ (bright, CD23+, CD11+, CD25−, CD103−, CD72+, and annexin A1−. [18] These cells, similar to the monoclonal cells in Hairy cell leukemia, [19] may have the V600E mutation in the BRAF gene. Patients with this ...
