Abstract

Background:Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), the most prevalent of the plasma cell dys-crasias precedes almost all cases of multiple myeloma (MM). Previous observational studies have reported an annual progression rate of 1% to MM and associated lymphoproliferative disorders and this risk has been reported to remain elevated beyond 25 years of observation. Recently, the term monoclnal gammopathy of renal significance (MGRS) was coined to reflect the association between kidney disease and monoclonal gammopathy. Associated with significant morbidity and mortality, MGRS has not yet been investigated at a population-based level. The aim of this project is to establish a population-based register of MGUS (and MGRS) within Northern Ireland (NI)
