Cytogenetic classification in Korean multiple myeloma patients: prognostic significance of hyperdiploidy with 47-50 chromosomes and the number of structural abnormalities

Chromosomal abnormalities are important prognostic factors for patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma (MM). We retrospectively reviewed the clinical and laboratory data of 525 MM patients to assess the abnormalities frequently found by conventional cytogenetic analysis and to determine their relat...

Description
Summary:Chromosomal abnormalities are important prognostic factors for patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma (MM). We retrospectively reviewed the clinical and laboratory data of 525 MM patients to assess the abnormalities frequently found by conventional cytogenetic analysis and to determine their relationship to prognosis and clinical parameters. Samples from 222 (42.3%) patients had abnormal karyotypes. Hyperdiploidy‐1 (>50 chromosomes), hyperdiploidy‐2 (47–50 chromosomes), pseudodiploidy (46 with abnormalities), and hypodiploidy (
