Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Multiple myeloma is increasingly recognized as a disease characterized by marked cytogenetic, molecular, and proliferative heterogeneity. This heterogeneity is manifested clinically by varying degrees of disease aggressiveness. Multiple myeloma patients with more aggressive disease experience suboptimal responses to some therapeutic approaches; therefore, identifying these patients is critically important for selecting appropriate treatment options.
Mayo Algorithmic Approach for Stratification of Myeloma and Risk-Adapted Therapy (MSMRT) classifies patients into either standard or high-risk categories based on the results of 2 assays: plasma cell proliferation and fluorescence in situ hybridization for specific multiple myeloma-associated abnormalities.
Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
PLASMA CELL CLONALITY:
Normal bone marrow
No monotypic clonal plasma cells detected
DNA INDEX:
Normal polytypic plasma cells

Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
The interpretation of results includes an overview of the results and the associated diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic implications.
Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test report is best used for newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma. It is designed for patients with multiple myeloma and may not be applicable for monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance, smoldering myeloma, or amyloidosis.
This stratification system is not meant to replace existing prognostic systems such as the International Staging System.

Method Description
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
Flow cytometric immunophenotyping of bone marrow is performed using the following antibodies: CD19, CD38, CD45, CD138, cytoplasmic kappa and lambda immunoglobulin, and DAPI (4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole). Plasma cell clonality is detected through demonstrating CD38 and CD138 positivity along with immunoglobulin light chain restriction (ie, the presence of either predominately kappa or lambda immunoglobulin light chains) and abnormality of CD19 and/or CD45 expression. DNA index of clonal plasma cells and their proliferation activity is determined through staining of double-stranded DNA using DAPI.
Plasma cells (monoclonal/monotypic and polyclonal/polytypic) are detected by immunoglobulin light chain restriction, surface immunophenotype, and DNA content. If present, the light chain expressed by the monotypic plasma cells is indicated. The percentage of clonal plasma cells estimated by flow cytometry is affected by specimen processing and antigen loss with specimen aging. Manual differential counting remains the accepted standard for determining the bone marrow plasma cell percentage. The percentage of monotypic plasma cells in S-phase of the cell cycle is determined by quantitative DNA analysis. The DNA index is a calculated value. The presence of more than 1 value indicates the presence of cell populations with differing DNA contents within the monotypic plasma cells. (Dispenzieri A, Buadi F, Kumar SK, et al. Treatment of immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis: Mayo Stratification of Myeloma and Risk-Adapted Therapy [mSMART] Consensus Statement. Mayo Clin Proc. 2015;90(8):1054-1081. doi:10.1016/j.mayocp.2015.06.009)
Plasma Cell Proliferative Disorder:
This test is performed using both commercially available and laboratory developed probes. Deletion or monosomy of chromosomes 13 and 17 and copy number gain of 1q are detected using enumeration strategy probes. Centromere probes are used to detect chromosomal gain of chromosomes 3, 7, 9, and 15. Translocations involving IGH with FGFR3, CCND1, CCND3, MAF, and MAFB are detected using dual-color, dual-fusion (D-FISH) strategy probes. Rearrangement of IGH and MYC are detected using a break-apart strategy probe. For each probe set, 50 plasma cells (if possible) are scored and the result for each probe is reported.(Unpublished Mayo method)
