Background/aim: The mechanisms of B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are unclear. An increased prevalence of circulating monoclonal B-cells and t(14;18) has been reported. Geographic heterogeneity of prevalence of t(14;18) has been shown to exist.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Omaima Mahmoud Abbas"

  • - Omaima Mahmoud Abbas's research primarily focuses on the interactions between chronic hepatitis C (CHC) and related complications, including iron balance disorders and B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders.
  • - One significant study reveals the impact of esophageal variceal bleeding on iron status, indicating that both iron overload and deficiency anemia are prevalent in CHC patients.
  • - Another investigation indicates that the t(14;18) chromosomal translocation is not linked to mixed cryoglobulinemia or clonal B cell expansion in Egyptian patients with hepatitis C virus, highlighting geographical differences in disease mechanisms.
