Review Title: Genomic profiling of multiple myeloma: New insights and modern technologies
Abstract: Advances in technologies for genomic profiling, primarily with next generation sequencing, have lead to a better understanding of the complex genomic landscape in multiple myeloma. Integrated analysis of whole genome, exome and transcriptome sequencing has lead to new insights on disease drivers including translocations, copy number alterations, somatic mutations, and altered gene expression. Disease progression in multiple myeloma is largely driven by structural variations including the traditional immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) translocations and hyperdiploidy which are early events in myelomagenesis as well as more complex events spanning over multiple chromosomes and involving amplifications and deletions. In this review, we will discuss recent insights on the genomic landscape of multiple myeloma and their implications for disease progression and personalized treatment. We will review how sequencing assays compare to current clinical methods and give an overview of modern technologies for interrogating genomic aberrations. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd
