Article Synopsis
  • New immunoglobulin free light chain (FLC) assays, including FreeLite and Sebia, can be used interchangeably for diagnosing multiple myeloma and assessing risk in patients with MGUS, despite differing methodologies.
  • A study of 923 MGUS patients showed that both assays had comparable effectiveness in predicting progression to plasma cell dyscrasias (PCD) over a median follow-up of 38 years.
  • The Sebia assay offered improved risk stratification with a lower clinical decision point for patients with low FLC ratios, demonstrating the potential for its application alongside traditional models.

Joubert syndrome (JBTS) is characterized by a magnetic resonance imaging appearance called 'molar tooth sign', neonatal breathing dysregulation and hypotonia, and developmental delay. Whole-exome analysis based on short-read sequencing has often contributed to the identification of causative single-nucleotide variants in patients clinically diagnosed with JBTS. However, ~10% of them are still undiagnosed even though a single possible pathogenic variant has been identified.
