The research investigates the association of soluble immune biomarkers with MGUS to understand its role in myelomagenesis.
Analyzed solid immune biomarkers in serum samples from participants in three cancer epidemiology cohorts.
Used unconditional logistic regression to assess associations with MGUS, adjusting for demographic factors including body mass index.
Measured levels of biomarkers including HGF, IL6, and angiopoietin2 using multiplex assays.
HGF showed the strongest association with MGUS with an odds ratio of 1.66 per log pg/mL.
IL6 was significantly associated with MGUS across demographic categories.
Associations varied by body mass index, with no strong links in obese patients.

Analysis reveals hepatic growth factor and IL6 associated with MGUS in diverse cohorts, suggesting risk factors vary by BMI.

Wan et al. (2025) studied this question.
