Prognostic impact of a senescence gene signature in multiple myeloma.

ABSTRACT: Multiple myeloma (MM), an incurable malignancy of plasma cells, is predominantly an age-related disease, with the majority of cases occurring in patients over the age of 60. Cellular senescence, a fundamental biological process underlying aging, has been increasingly recognized for its critical role in developing age-related malignancies. In this study, we aimed to investigate the prognostic significance of genes implicated in the molecular mechanisms of senescence within a large cohort of MM patients. Gene expression and clinical data from 1416 MM patients were obtained from four GEO datasets (GSE24080, GSE4204, GSE57317, and GSE9782) and integrated into a unified database. The raw data were processed using MAS5 normalization, scaling adjustments, and JetSet probe selection to ensure cros
