In a cohort of MM patients treated with high-dose melphalan and ASCT, polymorphisms of PARP, RAD51, PCNA, OGG1, XPC, BRCA1, ERCC1, BARD1, and TP53BP1 are associated with the outcome and overall survival of patients (Dumontet et al., 2010). This evidence concerns the gene ERCC1 and Miyoshi myopathy.
