Molecular heterogeneity of multiple myeloma: pathogenesis, prognosis, and therapeutic implications.

Abstract excerpt

Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by a significant heterogeneity at the molecular level. The first level is the chromosomal one. Although cytogenetics is difficult to assess in MM, patients can be divided into two categories: hyperdiploidy and non-hyperdiploidy (about half in each group). Using molecular cytogenetic techniques, several subgroups of patients are identified, particularly on the basis of 14q32...
