AI Article Synopsis
- * About 10-15% of individuals with amyloidosis also develop multiple myeloma, but limited research has focused on the clinical and genetic characteristics of these patients.
- * In this study, a patient with MM exhibited a complex near tetraploid karyotype with notable genetic abnormalities, particularly the t(11;14) translocation, which is commonly found in both MM and AL amyloidosis.
Article Abstract
Cytogenetic and iFISH plays a major part in the diagnosis of the MM and have an important prognostic significance. 10-15% of patients with amyloidosis will also have multiple myeloma (MM). Few studies have addressed the clinical and cytogenetic features of patients with AL amyloidosis with concurrent multiple myeloma. This study of MM case in which we found a near tetraploid complex karyotype with the t(11;14) (q13;q32) abnormality in cytogenetic analysis and the presence of t(4;14) and del(17p) by iFISH, referred to several studies which showed the translocation t(11;14) as the most frequent abnormality in both AL amyloidosis and MM.

Background: The prognosis of a plasma cell neoplasm (PCN) varies depending on the presence of genetic abnormalities. However, detecting sensitive genetic mutations poses challenges due to the heterogeneous nature of the cell population in bone marrow aspiration. The established gold standard for cell sorting is fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), which is associated with lengthy processing times, substantial cell quantities, and expensive equipment.

Background: High dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDT/ASCT) remains the preferred first line consolidation strategy for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM). However, The role of HDT/ASCT in first relapse is uncertain in the context of novel therapies. This study evaluates real-world outcomes of MM patients in first relapse, focusing on the role of consolidative HDT/ASCT.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most frequently diagnosed hematological malignancy, presenting limited treatment options with no curative potential and significant drug resistance. Recent studies involving genetic knockdown established the crucial role of GRK6 in upholding the viability of MM cells, emphasizing the need to identify potential inhibitors. Computational exploration of GRK6 inhibitors has not been attempted previously.

Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is a promising target for treating neurodegenerative disorders, several cancer types and viral infections. Unique among HDACs, the HDAC6 isoform possesses a zinc finger ubiquitin-binding domain (UBD) crucial for managing misfolded protein aggregates and facilitating viral infection. HDAC6 binds aggregated polyubiquitinated proteins through its UBD, mediating their transport to the aggresome and subsequent removal via autophagy.

Background: Candidate biomarkers to improve venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk prediction in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) undergoing anti-myeloma therapy include tissue factor-bearing microvesicles (MV-TF), procoagulant phospholipids (procoag-PPL), and D-dimer.
Objective: We aimed to determine the levels of MV-TF, procoag-PPL, and D-dimer at baseline and during initial anti-myeloma therapy and their association with the risk of VTE.
Methods: This prospective, longitudinal, observational study included 71 patients with newly diagnosed MM who were eligible for anti-myeloma therapy.
