Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the role of cytogenetic analysis in multiple myeloma(MM). Methods The cytogenetic analysis in 153 newly-diagnosed cases of MM was performed retrospectively. Results The recurrent chromosomal abnormality were most concentrated on the chromosome 13,9,14,1 and 8. The combination of conventional cytogenetics and iFISH displayed genetic abnormalities up to 79.1% and showed the majority of cases had complex chromosome karyotypes. There were 9 cases of abnormal karyotypes by conventional cytogenetics,but with negative-iFISH results. The 7 of 9 cases were with progression-free survival(PFS) less than 3 years,including 2 cases of death from infection and heart failure. Conclusions Even with low efficiency,conventional cytogenetics is still an essential application for offering full cytogenetic profile,and it is still indispensable for current scientific research and clinical practice.
