Overview

There are no established risk factors for [disease name].

OR

The most potent risk factor in the development of [disease name] is [risk factor 1]. Other risk factors include [risk factor 2], [risk factor 3], and [risk factor 4].

OR

Common risk factors in the development of [disease name] include [risk factor 1], [risk factor 2], [risk factor 3], and [risk factor 4].

OR

Common risk factors in the development of [disease name] may be occupational, environmental, genetic, and viral.

Risk Factors

Common risk factors in the development of Waldenström macroglobulinemia include:[1]

  • Hepatitis C:
    • Patients with chronic hepatitis C infection have an overall 20-30% increased risk for developing non-Hodgkin lymohoma and 3-fold increased risk for WM.[4][5][6]
  • Autoimmune Diseases:
    • Personal and family history of autoimmune diseases with autoantibodies leads to 2-3 fold higher risk of developing WM, especially elevated risks are associated with following:
  • Allergic conditions:
    • Hay fever is also known to be associated with increased risk of WM.
