  1. Percent of plasma cells in BM indicates extent of myeloma involvement determined by histochemistry in the BM biopsies
  2. Normal cytogenetics indicates results of chromosome banding studies and FISH performed using DNA probe D13S319 (Vysis Inc., Vysis, IL) for detection of 13q14.2 deletion
  3. This patient had antecedent MGUS
  4. "PBMC" peripheral blood mononuclear cells; "BM" bone marrow; "ND" Not done
