Understanding MGUS and Smoldering Multiple Myeloma
... MGUS can arise from lymphoid cells (plasmacytoid lymphocytes) or plasma cells, and these two cell types of MGUS are biologically different. The lymphoid type produces only IgM monoclonal protein, and accounts for about 15% of all MGUS. This type of MGUS, should it progress, becomes Waldenström’s mac ...
