The current cytogenetic characterization of Multiple Myeloma (including chromosome and gene abnormalities identification in abnormal plasma cells) encounters some limitations. Indeed current techniques only enable to analyze a limited numbers of predefined abnormalities. New tools that will allow for characterization of abnormalities involved in multiple myeloma development are thus required. The interest of Optical Genome Mapping has already been demonstrated in other hematological diseases. The present study aims at validating Optical Genome Mapping in genetic abnormalities identification for patients with Multiple Myeloma (MM).
For this study, supplementary samples will be collected during bone marrow biopsy performed at MM diagnosis. These will be used for CD138+ Plasma Cell Isolation and sent to GENTYANE (GEnoTYpage and sequencing in AuvergNE) platform in Clermont-Ferrand for Optical Genome Mapping.
