Chromosome 1p21 deletion is a novel prognostic marker in patients with multiple myeloma
11 Sept 2007
Abstract excerpt
The combination of fluorescence in situ hybridization with cytoplasmic light chain detection identified chromosome 1p21 deletion in 18 (20%) of 87 patients with multiple myeloma. 1p21 deletion was associated with higher serum calcium level, 13q deletion, and t(4;14). Patients with 1p21 deletions had a significantly shorter progression-free survival (PFS) (median 10.5 vs. 22.3 months, P = 0.0002) and shorter...
