Abstract

Objective: To analyze the frequency and composition of risk-related cytogenetic abnormalities (CAs) in patients with newly-diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) . Methods: The frequency and composition of risk-related CAs from a cohort of 1 015 Chinese patients with NDMM were determined by interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (iFISH) , individually or in combination. Results: Of the cohort of 1 015 Chinese patients with NDMM, the frequencies of IgH arrangement, del (13q) /13q14, 1q gain and del (17p) were 54.0%, 46.4%, 46.1% (35.8% and 12. 7% for 3 or more than 3 copies) and 9.9%, respectively. Among 454 patients who had the baseline information for all risk-related CAs [except t (14;20) , which was not covered by the FISH panels performed routinely at all five centers], the frequencies of t (4;14) , t (11;14) or t (14;20) were 14.1%, 11.2% and 4.8%, respectively; of them, 44.3% patients carried 2 or more CAs (28.0%, 13.4% and 2.9% for 2, 3 or ≥4 CAs) ; 83.3%, 95.0% or 68.6% patients with 1q gain, del (17p) or IgH rearrangement had 1 or more additional CA (s) , with del (13q) /13q14 as the most frequently accompanied CA; 57.7% patients carried at least 1 HRCA; the incidences of double-hit (DH) MM (DHMM) (=2 HRCAs) and triple-hit (TH) (THMM) (≥3 HRCAs) were 14.3% and 2.9%, respectively. Conclusions: Our results provided an up-to-date profile of CAs in Chinese NDMM patients, which revealed that approximately 58% patients might carry at least 1 HRCA, and 17% could experience so-called DHMM or THMM who presumably had the worst outcome.

目的: 了解我国初诊多发性骨髓瘤(MM)患者细胞遗传学异常(CA)的构成和频率,基于2018年更新的危险分层标准(mSMART3.0)分析双打击MM(DHMM)及三打击MM(THMM)的发生率。 方法: 纳入全国5个中心的初诊MM患者,磁珠分选CD138细胞或浆细胞比例≥50%的骨髓标本行初诊间期FISH(iFISH)检测CA的基线结果,分析原发CA(pCA)、继发CA(sCA)、高危(HR)CA和DHMM/THMM的发生率,并分析不同CA组合的情况。 结果: 共纳入初诊MM患者1 015例,IgH重排、del(13q)/13q14、1q21扩增、del(17p)发生率分别为54.0%、46.4%、46.1%、9.9%。其中,1q21扩增拷贝数=3、≥4的发生率分别为35.8%、12.7%。454例患者具有完整CA基线结果,pCA中t(4;14)、t(11;14)和t(14;16)发生率分别为14.1%、11.2%和4.8%;44.3%患者携带≥2种CA,包括2种CA(28.0%)、3种CA(13.4%)和≥4种CA(2.9%);83.3%的1q扩增患者伴其他CA,以del(13q)/13q14最常见(61.1%),IgH重排次之(31.5%);95.0%的del(17p)患者伴其他CA,以del(13q)/13q14最常见(75.2%),1q21扩增次之(49.5%);68.6%的IgH重排患者伴其他CA,以del(13q)/13q14和1q21扩增最常见(均为61.9%);根据2016年国际骨髓瘤工作组的定义,57.7%患者携带HRCA;依据2018年mSMART 3.0的定义,DHMM(HRCA=2)和THMM(HRCA≥3)患者分别占14.3%和2.9%。 结论: 更新了我国初诊MM患者的CA谱,发现基于CA的HR MM占初诊MM患者的比例近58%,并首次报道DHMM和THMM的发生率约为17%。.
