Abstract
Free light chains, kappa (κ) lambda (λ), are produced by plasma cells and known to be an important marker in patients with Multiple Myeloma and AL Amyloidosis. The precursor condition to Multiple Myeloma is called Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS) and although these individuals are not immediately treated, they are closely monitored due to their risk of progression to Multiple Myeloma1.
 
We invite you to join us for a new webinar with Dr. John Mitsios, PhD, as he discusses the potential clinical usage of the N-Latex FLC assay in evaluation of MGUS.
 
Learning Objectives
 
  • Define multiple myeloma and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS)
  • Describe the clinical criteria used to define multiple myeloma
  • Describe the use of free light chains in the evaluation of MGUS
