Deskripsi

Progression from asymptomatic smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) to symptomatic Multiple Myeloma occurs at different rates in different patients. Here, the authors report fewer NRAS and FAM46C mutations and adverse translocations in SMM compared to MM, while KRAS mutations are associated with a shorter time to progression.
