In the context of the ELMUMY project, the University of Turin (UNITO) is actively engaged in analyzing patients with MGUS/sMM and their risk of progressing to MM. UNITO contributed to defining the clinical data tables utilized for collecting information on these patients. A prospective collection of data and samples from MGUS/sMM patients has been initiated at UNITO, with plans to share these resources with other ELMUMY partners.
Additionally, UNITO will provide clinical and biological data from 170 active MM patients, fully characterized through whole-genome sequencing, whole-exome sequencing, and RNA sequencing. This dataset will serve as a benchmark for understanding the molecular characteristics of active MM and exploring differences observed in pre-symptomatic stages.
