We studied a cohort of 168 MM patient samples and found that 24% displayed copy number gains of S100 genes, including S100A1, S100A2, S100A3, S100A4, S100A5, S100A6, S100A7, S100A7A, S100A8, S100A9, S100A10, S100A11, S100A12, S100A13, S100A14, S100A16, and TCHLL. This evidence concerns the gene S100A9 and Miyoshi myopathy.
