The Chromosome 13 Conundrum in Multiple Myeloma

Blood Cancer Discov. 2020 Jun 22;1(1):16-17. doi: 10.1158/2643-3249.BCD-20-0081. eCollection 2020 Jul.

Abstract

In this issue of Blood Cancer Discovery, Chesi and colleagues have performed a series of mouse experiments, combined with patient sample analysis, to delineate the role of del(13) in multiple myeloma. They identify loss of the miRNA cluster MIR15A/16-1 as critical for myelomagenesis and progression of disease. See related article by Chesi et al., p. 68.
