A pooled analysis of karyotypic patterns, breakpoints and imbalances in 783 cytogenetically abnormal multiple myelomas reveals frequently involved chromosome segments as well as significant age- and sex-related differences. (2003)

Nilsson, Thérèse, Höglund, Mattias, Lenhoff, Stig, Rylander, Lars, Turesson, Ingemar, Westin, Jan, ...

The cytogenetic features (ploidy, complexity, breakpoints, imbalances) were ascertained in 783 abnormal multiple myeloma (MM) cases to identify frequently involved chromosomal regions as well as a...

Clinical and genetic studies of ETV6/ABL1-positive chronic myeloid leukaemia in blast crisis treated with imatinib mesylate. (2003)

Barbouti, Aikaterini, Ahlgren, Tomas, Johansson, Bertil, Höglund, Mattias, Lassen, Carin, Turesson, Ingemar, ...

Most chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) patients are genetically characterized by the t(9;22)(q34;q11), generating the BCR/ABL1 fusion gene. However, a few CML patients with rearrangements of 9q34 and...

Risk of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and subsequent multiple myeloma among African American and white veterans in the United States

Landgren, Ola, Gridley, Gloria, Turesson, Ingemar, Caporaso, Neil E., Goldin, Lynn R., Baris, Dalsu, ...

The age-adjusted incidence of multiple myeloma (MM) is 2-fold higher in African Americans than in whites. A few small studies have reported a higher prevalence of monoclonal gammopathy of...

Elevated risk of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and other indolent non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas among relatives of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Goldin, Lynn R., Björkholm, Magnus, Kristinsson, Sigurdur Y., Turesson, Ingemar, Landgren, Ola

Previous studies have shown increased familial risk for chronic lymphocytic leukemia. This study by Goldin and colleagues examines the risk of lymphoid cancer development in first degree relatives of...

Risk of lymphoproliferative disorders among first-degree relatives of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma/Waldenström macroglobulinemia patients: a population-based study in Sweden

Kristinsson, Sigurdur Y., Björkholm, Magnus, Goldin, Lynn R., McMaster, Mary L., Turesson, Ingemar, Landgren, Ola

A role for genetic factors in the etiology of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma/Waldenström macroglobulinemia (LPL/WM) is implicated based on prior findings from multiply affected families and small...

Deep vein thrombosis after monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and multiple myeloma

Kristinsson, Sigurdur Y., Fears, Thomas R., Gridley, Gloria, Turesson, Ingemar, Mellqvist, Ulf-Henrik, Björkholm, Magnus, ...

Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) have an increased risk of deep venous thrombosis (DVT), particularly when treated with immunomodulatory drugs. Recently, 2 small hospital-based studies observed...

Genetic and immune-related factors in the pathogenesis of lymphoproliferative and plasma cell malignancies

Kristinsson, Sigurdur Y., Goldin, Lynn R., Björkholm, Magnus, Koshiol, Jill, Turesson, Ingemar, Landgren, Ola

There are data to support a role for genetic and immune-related factors in the pathogenesis of lymphomas and plasma cell diseases. In this paper, the AUTHORS review relevant studies in Hodgkin’s...
