Multiple myeloma (MM) is an haematological malignancy for which there is no cure with standard therapy (Howlader, et al 2014). Black patients have an incidence of MM that is twice that of white patients (Avet-Loiseau, et al 2010, Jagannath, et al 2007, Pineda-Roman, et al 2008, Sagaster, et al 2007). Despite the increased incidence, black patients with MM experience better overall survival (Howlader, et al 2014). Cytogenetics represent an important factor in MM prognostication (Corre and Avet-Loiseau 2011). Deletion of chromosome 13q, detected by routine karyotype analysis, or t (4; 14), detected by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), have been associated with poorer treatment response rates and thus poorer prognosis (Avet-Loiseau, et al 2010, Jagannath, et al 2007, Pineda-Roman, et al 2008, Sagaster, et al 2007). Newer MM treatments, such as bortezomib and lenalidomide, appear to be effective in patients with high and low risk cytogenetics (Barlogie, et al 2008, Reece, et al 2009). Despite efficacy in both cytogenetic profiles, survival improvements associated with bortezomib and lenalidomide may disproportionately benefit white patients, suggesting race-based cytogenetic differences (Kumar, et al 2008). Little is known about how racial differences in cytogenetics may influence MM prognosis.To identify racial differences in common MM-associated chromosomal abnormalities, we examined routine cytogenetic results in a retrospective cohort study of patients from the United States Veterans Health administration (VHA). A cohort of 5,202 patients diagnosed with MM between 1 October 1998 and 31 December 2009 was identified using the VHA central cancer registry. Patients were identified with International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, 3rd Edition (ICD-O-3) codes 9732/3, 9731/3 and 9734/3 (MM and plasmacytoma). Among these patients, we identified a sub-cohort of 1,256 patients who had common procedural terminology (CPT) codes 88271-8275, 88291, 88299, 88365, 83896, 88237, 88261-88264, 88280, 88283 and 88285, indicating that routine cytogenetic testing had been performed. Further examination of the electronic records of this sub-cohort provided results of karyotype analysis in 828 patients.
