Prognostic significance of copy-number alterations in multiple myeloma

ABSTRACT: Purpose Chromosomal aberrations are a hallmark of multiple myeloma but their global prognostic impact is largely unknown. Methods We performed a genome-wide analysis of malignant plasma cells from 192 newly myeloma patients using high-density, single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays to identify genetic lesions associated with prognosis. Results Our analyses revealed deletions and amplifications in 98% of cases. Amplifications in 1q and deletions in 1p, 12p, 14q, 16q, and 22q were the most frequent lesions associated with adverse prognosis while recurrent amplifications of chromosomes 5, 9, 11, 15 and 19 conferred a favorable prognosis. Multivariate analysis retained three independent lesions: amp(1q23.3), amp(5q31.3) and del(12p13.31). When adjusted to the established prognostic var
