Purpose: Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is a chronic lymphoproliferative disorder which counts %2-3 percent of the leukemias. B-RAF is a member of mitogen activated protein kinase pathway, associated with cell proliferation. The most common B-RAF mutation V600E has been shown in hairy cell leukemia recently. The aim of our study is to investigate B-RAF V600E and B-RAF codon 464-469 mutations in HCL patients and compare the results with clinical parameters.
