Complex karyotype and translocation t(4;14) define patients with high-risk newly diagnosed multiple myeloma: results of CMG2002 trial

Abstract: The prognostic impact of chromosomal abnormalities was evaluated by fluorescence in situ hybridization with cytoplasmic immunoglobulin light chain staining (cIg-FISH) and by classical metaphase cytogenetics in a cohort of 207 patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who were treated with high-dose therapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation in the CMG2002 clinical trial. The incidence of chromosomal abnormalities detected by FISH was as follows: 52.7% for del(13)(q14), 6.5% for del(17)(p13),… Show more

“…The prevalence of adverse abnormalities (51.9%) in this cohort of MM at diagnosis is similar to that in previously published data [2, 3, 12, 1618]. The combination of unfavourable conventionally used cytogenetic markers, del(17p13) and t(4;14) [19], with two more recent markers, del(1p32) and 1q21 gain, has enabled us to identify 39.0% more patients carrying chromosome 1 abnormalities.…”

“…46 Two patients had a complex karyotype at presentation, including one with three high-risk abnormalities (translocation t(4;14), gain of the 1q21 region and deletion 17p) -findings that are associated with unfavorable outcome and shorter median survival -whereas two patients had evidence of trisomies of odd-numbered chromosomes (hyperdiploidy) that are typically associated with better survival. 49,50 This distribution of genetic abnormalities is similar to the reported literature and does not indicate a unique subtype of plasma cell myeloma. 46,49,50 Aside from large numbers of IgG4 þ plasma cells, the histological features of bone marrows and soft tissue debridement specimens did not show any characteristics of IgG4-related disease, such as lymphoplasmacytic inflammation, lymphoid follicles with expanded germinal centers, obliterative phlebitis, or prominent cellular fibrosis, composed of activated fibroblasts, lymphocytes, and plasma cells.…”
