Background Multiple myeloma, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and smoldering multiple myeloma harbor common chromosomal abnormalities but the prevalence and relative association of aberrations in these diagnostic groups remains controversial. We investigated these aspects in a large series of patients. Design and Methods Chromosome 13 deletion (Delta 13), deletion of TP53, ploidy status and immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) translocations were evaluated by fluorescence in situ hybridization in patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (n=189), smoldering multiple myeloma (n=127) and multiple myeloma (n=400). Results Overall, Delta 13 (25%, 34% and 47%), 16q23 deletions (6%, 8% and 21%) and 17p13 deletions (3%, 1% and 10%) were less frequent in patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and smoldering multiple myeloma than in those with multiple myeloma. When distinct genetic groups were considered, no differences in the prevalence of Delta 13 were found with t(4;14)(p16;q32) and t(14;16)(q32;q23) among the three diagnostic groups; in contrast Delta 13 was rarer in t(11-14)(q13-q32) in patients with monoclonal gammopathy (1/28) and smoldering myeloma (2/13) than in those with multiple myeloma (40%). Similar results were seen for the few t(6;14)(p21;q32) cases: 0/3 patients with monoclonal gammopathy or smoldering myeloma had the Delta 13, whereas 4/6 (67%) patients with multiple myeloma and this translocation also had the deletion. In multiple myeloma patients with both an IgH translocation and Delta 13, the proportions of cells affected by the two abnormalities were similar, as was the case for t(4,14) and t(14,16) monoclonal gammopathy patients positive for Delta 13. In contrast, in monoclonal gammopathy patients with t(14;20)(q32;q11), the translocation was present in almost all cells, while the Delta 13 was present in only a sub-population. Conclusions These results indicate that the presence and time of occurrence of Delta 13 depends on the presence of specific concurrent abnormalities. The observation that Delta 13 was extremely rare in monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and smoldering multiple myeloma with translocations directly involving cyclin D genes (CCND1 and CCND3) suggest a possible role of Delta 13 in the progression of the disease specifically in these genetic sub-groups.
