Increased risk of monoclonal gammopathy in first-degree relatives of patients with multiple myeloma or monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance For all first-degree relatives, the risk of MGUS was significantly (P Table 3; Figures 1, 2). Among first-degree relatives of MM probands only, the age-adjusted rate of MGUS was twice that of the Olmsted County population (risk ratio, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.4 to 2.8).n this study, we describe for the first time a clinically and statistically significant increase in the prevalence of MGUS among first-degree relatives of patients with MGUS or MM compared with a reference population, using identical screening and diagnostic techniques.
