Clinical Significance
Myeloma is a malignant proliferation of monoclonal plasma cells. Although morphologically similar, several genetic subtypes have been identified by molecular and genetic profiling. These subtypes are associated with unique clinico-pathological features and dissimilar outcome. In addition to other genetic aberrations, Chromosome 1 abnormalities (gain of 1q and loss of 1p) are commonly reported as recurrent abnormalities in myeloma cases. Abnormalities of chromosome 1 (gain of 1q and loss of 1p) are considered as secondary abnormalities acquired during clonal evolution1 and are regarded as poor prognostic markers associated with shorter survival and adverse outcome in plasma cell myeloma cases1,2.
