Prevalence and clinical implications of t(11;14) in patients with amyloid light-chain amyloidosis with or without concurrent multiple myeloma.

According to fluorescent in situ hybridization, t(11;14) is the most common cytogenetic abnormality in amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis, but its prevalence in patients with AL amyloidosis and concurrent multiple myeloma (MM) remains unknown. We aimed to examine the prevalence of t(11;14) and the differences in clinical characteristics of patients with t(11;14) who had AL amyloidosis with or without concurrent MM. We retrospectively analyzed 40 patients with AL amyloidosis between January 2008 and January 2018 at our institution. The prevalence of t(11;14) was significantly higher in patients with AL amyloidosis alone compared with those with concurrent MM (56.5% vs. 17.6%; P = 0.022). This study suggests that AL amyloidosis patients with concurrent MM have a lower prevalence of t(11;14) than those without MM and that the presence of t(11;14) may be associated with poor prognosis, irrespective of the presence or absence of MM.
