CC genotype was significantly associated with higher odds of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance.
From 13,861 patients screened, 9.2% were CC, with 58.8% of Black participants carrying this genotype.
Assessment using mass spectrometry and longitudinal data from a biobank determined Duffy genotype's link to MGUS outcomes.
Further investigation is warranted to elucidate genetic and environmental risk factors related to MGUS progression.

Analysis identifies associations of plasma cell malignancy and CC genotype with MGUS in Black populations, suggesting genetic influences.

Perry et al. (2025) studied this question.
