Abstract

Summary: Family clusters of multiple myeloma (MM) suggest disease heritability. Nevertheless, patterns of inheritance and the importance of genetic versus environmental risk factors in MM aetiology remain unclear. We pooled data from eleven case‐control studies from the International Multiple Myeloma Consortium to characterize the association of MM risk with having a first‐degree relative with a history of a lympho‐haematapoietic cancer. Unconditional logistic regression models, adjusted for study, sex, age and education level, were used to estimate associations between MM risk and having a first‐degree relative with a history of non‐Hodgkin lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, leukaemia or MM. Sex, African American race/ethnicity and age were explored as effect modifiers. A total of 2843 cases and 11 470 controls were included. MM risk was elevated in association with having a first‐degree relative with any lympho‐haematapoietic cancer (Odds Ratio (OR) = 1·29, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1·08–1·55). The association was particularly strong for having a first‐degree relative with MM (OR = 1·90, 95% CI: 1·26–2·87), especially among men (OR = 4·13, 95% CI: 2·17–7·85) and African Americans (OR = 5·52, 95% CI: 1·87–16·27).These results support the hypothesis that genetic inheritance plays a role in MM aetiology. Future studies are warranted to characterize interactions of genetic markers with environmental exposures.

  • The odds ratio for MM among first-degree relatives is 1.90 (95% CI: 1.26-2.87), with a stronger association among men (OR = 4.13, 95% CI: 2.17-7.85) and African Americans (OR = 5.52, 95% CI: 1.87-16.27).

    “Retrospective results from the Multiple Myeloma Consortium found that the odds ratio (OR) for MM among first-degree relatives was 1.90, (95% CI: 1.26–2.87) with an especially strong association among men (OR = 4.13, 95% CI: 2.17–7.85) and African Americans (OR = 5.52, 95% CI: 1.87–16.27) [17].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
