Popis: Conventional karyotypes performed before any treatment in 208 patients with multiple myeloma were reviewed by the Groupe Français de Cytogénétique Hématologique. A total of 138 patients displayed complex chromosomal abnormalities (CCAs). According to the chromosome number pattern, a first group of 75 patients had a hyperdiploid karyotype. A second group of 63 patients referred to as the hypodiploid group had either pseudodiploid, hypodiploid, or near-tetraploid karyotypes. Of 159 treated patients available for survival analysis, 116 had an abnormal karyotype. The comparison of overall survival (OS) between hyperdiploid and hypodiploid patients showed a highly significant difference (median OS 33.8 vs 12.6 months, respectively, P
