ABSTRACT
Multiple myeloma is a disorder of the monoclonal plasma cells and is the second most common hematologic malignancy. Despite improvements in survival with newer treatment regimens, multiple myeloma remains an incurable disease and most patients experience multiple relapses. Multiple myeloma disease initiation and progression are highly dependent on complex genetic aberrations. This review will summarize the current knowledge of these genetic aberrations, how they affect prognosis and the response to treatment, and review sensitive molecular techniques for multiple myeloma workup, with the ultimate goal of detecting myeloma progression early, allowing for timely treatment initiation.
