| Abstract [eng] |
Background: At diagnosis, multiplemyeloma risk estimation includes disease burden, end-organ damage, and biomarkers, with increasing emphasis on genetic abnormalities. Multicolor flow cytometry (MFC) is not always considered in risk estimation. We demonstrate associations found between genetic abnormalities and antigen expression of plasma cells measured by MFC. (2) Methods: Single nucleotide polymorphism microarray (SNP-A) karyotyping as well as MFC using standardized next-generation flow (NGF) panels and instrument settings were performed from bone marrow aspirates at the time of diagnosis. (3) Results: We uncovered specific immunophenotype features related to different genetic risk factors. Specifically, we found higher malignant/normal plasma cell ratio and lower expression of CD27, CD38, CD45, CD56, CD117 and CD138 in higher-risk genetic groups or risk categories. |
