FGFR3 dysregulation in multiple myeloma: frequency and prognostic relevance

Thomas Rasmussen et al. Br J Haematol. 2002 Jun.

Abstract

The t(4:14) translocation affects two potential oncogenes, FGFR3 and MMSET, in multiple myeloma (MM). We investigated the frequency of FGFR3 dysregulation and its prognostic value in MM. FGFR3 mRNA levels were determined in 110 diagnostic bone marrow (BM) samples from MM patients. In addition, selected BM samples were screened for elevated MMSET mRNA levels. 14.5% (16/110) of MM BM samples showed dysregulated FGFR3 expression. Follow-up of 76 MM patients showed no significant difference between FGFR3 dysfunction and survival (P = 0.3) or correlation with known prognostic factors. Further, no linear relation was observed between FGFR3 and MMSET levels.
