[[Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance]] was first discivered by Jan G. Waldenstrom in 1960 “essential hyperglobulinemia” or “benign monoclonal gammopathy” and then as monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance by Robert A. Kyle in 1978. Introduced more than 35 years ago, the term monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined signficance was used because of the increased risk of patients for the development of symptomatic MM, WM, Light-chain (AL) [[amyloidosis]], or a related disorder during long-term follow-up.

Historical Perspective

Discovery

Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance was first discivered by Jan G. Waldenstrom in 1960 “essential hyperglobulinemia” or “benign monoclonal gammopathy” and then as monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance by Robert A. Kyle in 1978. [1] Introduced more than 35 years ago, the term monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined signficance was used because of the increased risk of patients for the development of symptomatic MM, WM, light-chain (AL) amyloidosis, or a related disorder during long-term follow-up.[2][3]
