The Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation’s CoMMpass study, a prospective, longitudinal observational study of 1,143 newly diagnosed, previously untreated multiple myeloma patients, revealed critical genetic markers that can better predict disease progression and identify patients at risk of transitioning to more aggressive forms of the disease.
A 12-year observational study which aimed to sequence the genome, exome, and RNA in tumors from patients with multiple myeloma was able to define distinct subtypes of the disease, according to an international team of scientists led by researchers from the Translational Genomics Research Institute, part of City of Hope.
