In Australia, over 1,000 people are diagnosed with multiple myeloma annually. Our proposal aims to identify possible environmental and genetic causes of this serious disease. People diagnosed with myeloma, and their family members, will provide detailed personal and family histories. We plan to investigate the role of sun exposure, body size and obesity, dietary factors and pesticides as well as a large range of genetic variants. The 5-year study will be conducted in Victoria and NSW.

在澳大利亚，每年有超过 1,000 人被诊断患有多发性骨髓瘤。我们的建议旨在确定这种严重疾病的可能环境和遗传原因。被诊断患有骨髓瘤的人及其家庭成员将提供详细的个人和家庭病史。我们计划研究阳光照射、体型和肥胖、饮食因素和农药以及大量遗传变异的作用。这项为期五年的研究将在维多利亚州和新南威尔士州进行。
