| Description |
The heavy chain diseases (HCD) are characterized by neoplastic proliferations of plasma cells that secrete heavy chains unattached to light chains. The five major immunoglobulin classes (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and sigma) may be involved, with alpha-HCD being the most frequent type of HCD. The clinical features of these entities overlap to some extent with those of other lymphoid neoplasms, but they have unique biochemical features that justify this separate classification. |
