Résumé

The prognosis of multiple myeloma is mainly dependent upon chromosomal changes. The two major abnormalities driving poor outcome are the del(17p) and the t(4;14). However, the outcome of these high-risk patients is not absolutely uniform, some patients presenting long survival. We hypothesized that these better outcomes might be related to concomitant "good risk" chromosomal changes exploring hyperdiploidy. We analyzed a large series of 965 myeloma patients including 168 patients with t(4;14) and 126 patients with del(17p) using high throughput SNP arrays after plasma cell sorting. As expected, trisomic chromosomes were highly associated. Using the LASSO model, we found that only chromosome 3 when trisomic was associated with a longer progression free survival and that three trisomies modulated overall survival (OS) in myeloma patients: Trisomies 3 and 5 significantly improved OS, and trisomy 21 worsened OS. Especially in patients with t(4;14), trisomies 3 and/or 5 seemed to overcome the poor prognosis. For the first time, using a specific modelling approach, we show that not all trisomies display the same prognostic impact. This finding could be important for routine assessment of prognosis in myeloma, some high-risk patients with a traditional evaluation could be in fact standard risk.
