Abstract

Introduction Genomic alterations are common in multiple myeloma precursor stages, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). However, commonly used stratification systems do not include somatic alterations that play a role in the disease. To address this clinical need, we generated a comprehensive genomic map of MM and precursors by harmonizing and analyzing mostly WGS data from 1,030 patients. We used these data to define a simple MM-like score, that is able to discriminate which premalignant patients are at risk to progress. Methods We collected, enriched, and performed WGS of tumor ..
