WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF CHRONIC LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA (CLL)?
There is no known cause of CLL but some researchers believe that there is a genetic mutation in the DNA of cells that produces blood. As a result of this mutation, the blood cells produce abnormal as well as ineffective lymphocytes.
Further, these abnormal lymphocytes continue to live and multiply, when normal lymphocytes would die. These abnormal lymphocytes accumulate in the blood and certain organs where they can cause various complications. They may crowd healthy cells and interfere with the normal blood cell production.
