Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance
Overview
NCI Definition: A plasma cell disorder in which an abnormal amount of a single immunoglobulin is present in the serum. Up to 25% of cases of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) progress to a B-cell malignancy or myeloma. MGUS may occur in conjunction with various carcinomas, chronic inflammatory and infectious conditions, and other diseases. [1]
Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significances most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, CIC, NOTCH4, MYD88, and EP300 [2].
TP53 Nonsense, TP53 Mutation, TP53 Exon 7 Mutation, TP53 D228*, and TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense are the most common alterations in monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance [2].
