Official Title: Prospective Observational Study of Clinical and Genomic Predictors of Progression to Myeloma in Asymptomatic Monoclonal Gammopathies
Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical research study is to find markers that might help predict why some patients with monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance (MGUS) and smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) develop multiple myeloma, while others do not.
Markers that will be studied may include participant's age, level of proteins in blood and urine, percent of abnormal blood cells in the bone marrow, genes in the abnormal blood cells, and bone abnormalities.
