Recent studies have found that mutations of some oncogenes such as ''MYC'' develop early in the course of plasma cell tumors. Changes in the ''RAS'' genes are more often found in myeloma cells in the bone marrow after treatment, and changes in tumor suppressor genes like the gene for ''p53'' are associated with spread to other organs.<ref name="urlWhat Causes Multiple Myeloma?">{{cite web |url=https://www.cancer.org/cancer/multiple-myeloma/causes-risks-prevention/what-causes.html |title=What Causes Multiple Myeloma? |format= |work= |accessdate=}}</ref>

Overview

The causes of multiple myeloma include sporadic mutations, such as TP53 mutation, and inherited predisposition.

Causes

The causes of multiple myeloma include sporadic mutations and genetic predisposition. Mutations in tumor suppressors or oncogenes can cause multiple myeloma. Mutations in the tumor suppressor TP53 is most common. Chromosomal aberrations such as translocations can trigger the onset of malignancy and allow for uncontrolled plasma cell proliferation.[1] Familial causes are less contributory to the development of multiple myeloma compared to sporadic causes.[1]
