Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), a precursor of multiple myeloma (MM), in Ghanaian men vs white men and to test for evidence to support an underlying race-related predisposition of the 2-fold higher prevalence of MGUS in African Americans vs whites. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: Between September 1, 2004, and September 30, 2006, 917 men (50-74 years)...
