  • * International Staging System (ISS) for WM (ISS-WM) prognostic scoring includes age of >65 y, ß2-microglobulin level of >3 mg/L, hemoglobin level of ≤11.5 g/dL, platelet count of ≤100 × 109/L, and IgM level of >7 g/dL. Low risk = ≤1 adverse characteristic and age of ≤65 y; high risk = ≥3 adverse characteristics; indeterminate (IND) risk = 2 adverse characteristics or age of >65 y.

  • MYD88 and CXCR4 warts, hypogammaglobulinemia, infections, and myelokathexis syndrome–like somatic mutations were tested.

  • ISS-WM scoring system was not applicable (N/A) for IgD-type WM/LPL.

  • § Serum IgD level was measured as IgD-type M protein level.

  • sFLC = serum-free light chain; IND = indeterminate.
