High incidence of chromosome 13 deletion in multiple myeloma detected by multiprobe interphase FISH
15 Aug 2000
Abstract excerpt
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hypoproliferative malignancy yielding informative karyotypes in no more than 30% of newly diagnosed cases. Although cytogenetic and molecular deletion of chromosome 13 is associated with poor prognosis, a MM tumor suppressor gene (TSG) has not been identified. To localize a minimal deleted region of chromosome 13, clonotypic plasma cells from 50 consecutive patients with MM were...
