Abstract excerpt
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a genetically complex cancer that has a higher incidence and mortality in males when compared to females. These sex differences are well documented epidemiologically, yet their biological mechanisms remain uncharacterized. We hypothesized that sex-specific genetic regulation by somatic mutations affects MM cell gene expression differently in each sex and subsequently leads to differential...
