REVIEW Chromosomal and genetic abnormalities in myeloma
Chromosomal translocations are a hallmark of lymphoid tumours. Multiple myeloma (MM) is a tumour of the plasma cell, the terminally differentiated B lymphoid cell. In recent years, a large number of chromosomal and genetic abnormalities have been detected in myeloma, the most prominent being chromosome 13q deletions and translocations affecting the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) locus on chro...
متن کاملCytogenetics of multiple myeloma.
Great studies of multiple myeloma (MM) strongly suggested that specific chromosomal changes are of prognostic significance in patients with MM1. We have performed cytogenetic analysis and recently fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) on 43 cases of MM. Clonal chromosomal changes were present in 24 (56%) cases. Hyperdiploid karyotype was found in 12 (50%) cases, hypodiploid in 8 (33%) cases,...
متن کاملCytogenetics and Revised International Staging System (R-ISS): Risk Stratification in Multiple myeloma - A Retrospective Study in Indian Population
Background & Objective: Cytogenetic abnormalities in Multiple myeloma (MM) has emerged as the most important factor that determine the prognosis and survival. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) can detect a greater number of cytogenetic abnormalities as compared to conventional karyotyping and hence has become the standard test in determining genetic abnormalities in MM....
متن کاملGenetics and cytogenetics of multiple myeloma: a workshop report.
Much has been learned regarding the biology and clinical implications of genetic abnormalities in multiple myeloma. Because of recent advances in the field, an International Workshop was held in Paris in february of 2003. This summary describes the consensus recommendations arising from that meeting with special emphasis on novel genetic observations. For instance, it is increasingly clear that...
متن کاملChromosome 1 abnormalities in multiple myeloma.
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignancy of the terminally-differentiated B cells and accounts for 10% of all hematological malignancies. Chromosome 1 aberrations are frequently described, the short arm being preferentially involved in deletions and the long arm in gains. The abnormalities were identified in the bone marrow of 37 MM patients by conventional cytogenetics. Fluorescence in situ hybri...
