Abstract excerpt
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a B-cell malignancy characterized by aberrant immune function. Using genomic DNA extracted from 127 MM cases aged 21-84 years and 545 population-based controls, we examined the risk of MM associated with 82 common variants in 45 genes that mediate immunity among women of European American descent. Genotyping was determined using validated and optimized TaqMan assays. We estimated...
