Unusual association between increased bone resorption and presence of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria phenotype in multiple myeloma.

Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) clones deficient in glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored molecules, including CD55 and CD59, have been previously described in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). The aim of this study was to investigate the possible association between existence of the PNH phenotype and myeloma bone disease.
