We also tested the association between the occurrence of TP53 mutations and common genetic abnormalities in MM (i.e. chromosomal translocations at IGH locus, hyperdiploidy, deletions at chromosome regions 13q, 17p, and 1p, and gain at 1q), for which the entire patients' cohort was characterized by means of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) (Tables 2 and 3). Here, TP53 is linked to Miyoshi myopathy.
