Using miRNA-seq of CD138+ plasma cells, miR-25 was highlighted to be overexpressed in MM patients with short-term disease progression, and thereafter, the clinical value of miR-25 in MM prognosis and treatment outcome was further evaluated, for the first time, in a screening MM/sMM cohort (n = 167 patients) and two external institutional-independent validation cohorts, the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) CoMMpass study (MMRF CoMMpass n = 760) and the Kryukov et al. The gene discussed is SDC1; the disease is plasma cell myeloma.
