@crraining What does it mean to have a "Wild Type" of MYD88? My test came back as "suspicious" for MYD88. Is that the same as "Wild"?

I am no expert, but I understand that 90-95 percent of Waldenstrom’s patients have a mutation on the MDY88 gene. The remaining 5-10 percent do not - this is referred to as the “wild type.” I suspect that your doctor suspects that you do have the mutation, but you would need to ask him/her.
