Description: The advent of large-scale genomic studies has transformed our understanding of multiple myeloma (MM), revealing a complex landscape of molecular subtypes that transcend traditional classifications. This presentation will explore the emerging genomic taxonomy of MM, with a focus on the integrative models that combine DNA- and RNA-based features to define biologically and clinically distinct subgroups. We will review how these findings inform prognosis, therapeutic response, and risk stratification—laying the groundwork for future precision medicine approaches.
