title: [Influence of Chromosome Abnormality on Therapeutic Efficacy and Prognosis of Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Treated with Bortezomib].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the influence of chromosome abnormality on therapeutic efficacy and prognosis of patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma(MM) treated with bortezomib.
  
  
  METHODS
  The clinical data of 152 patients with newly diagnosed MM were collected from January 2008 to December 2011. All patients received bortezo-mib-based chemotherapy and the therapeutic efficacy were investigated for 4 cycles later. The R banding and DNA probe were used to analyze the chromosome and gene (RB1 deletion, D13S319 deletion, P53 deletion, IgH rearrangement and 1q21 amplification) of chromosome specimens. Moreover, the therapeutic efficacy and long-term survival data were analyzed among the patients with different types of chromosomal abnormality. The Kaplan-Meier was applied to analyze survival, and COX risk proportional model was used for multivariate analysis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Among 152 patients with MM, there were 47 cases(30.92%) of abnormal karyotype, 43 cases(28.29%) of abnormal RB1,49 cases (32.24%) of abnormal D13S319, 30 cases (19.74%) of abnormal P53, 58 cases (38.16%) of abnormal IgH and 33 cases (21.71%) of abnormal chromosome 1q21. All the patients were evaluable for the therapeutic efficacy, including 24 CR, 54 nCR, 21 PR, 14 MR and 39 PD with response rate of 74.34% and remission rate of 50.66%. Compared with normal controls, the response and remission rate were lower than that in the patients with abnormal karyotype of D13S319, P53 or IgH, and remission rate was lower in the patients with RB1 or 1q21 (P<0.05). All the patients were followd-up (median: 52.0 months, range: 22-72 months), but median overall survival(OS) was not yet reached at the end of the follow-up. The median OS was in the patients with different chromosome versus the normal subjects (P<0.05). The chromosome abnormality was found to affect the prognosis of MM by COX multivariate analysis. In regard to the normal subjects, the risk for poor prognosis increased by 1.177, 2.639, 6.552, 3.124, 2.045 and 7.264 fold in the patients with abnormal Karyotype of RB1, D13S319, P53, IgH and 1q21, respectively.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The abnormality of chromosome can influence the efficacy and prognosis of newly diagnosed MM patients treated with bortezomib. The detection of chromosomal abnormalities has a certain reference value for the treatment of primary MM.
