14 Serum free-light chain ratio <0.26 or >1.65

15 FLC Normal lflci is 500 mg/day from bone marrow and lymph node cells. There is 40% excess immunoglobulin light-chain production over immunoglobulin heavy-chain synthesis. There are twice as many kappa-producing plasma cells as lambda plasma cells. Kappa free-light chains are normally monomeric, while lambda free-light chains tend to be dimeric, joined by disulphide bonds. Polymeric forms of both types of free light chain can also occur

16 In case of renal failure: Serum free-light chain ratio <0.37 or >3.1

19 Role of FLC assay -SCREENING For purpuse of SCREENING for monoclonal protein For all diagnosis EXCEPT AL- Amyloidosis The FLC- assay can replace The FLC- assay can replace 24/h urine IFE

20 DIAGNOSIS -ROLE OF FLC The serum-flc assay is recommended in all newly diagnosed patients with plasma cell dyscrasias Serum-free light chain estimation does not obviate the need for 24-hour urine studies Measurement of urine-free light chain levels or urine total κ and total λ levels els is not recommended. Serum FLC is important for: nonsecretory multiple myeloma (negative serum and urine IF) oligosecretory myeloma - secrete small amounts light chain myeloma solitary plasmacytoma smoldering myeloma

21 Prognostic value of serum FLC assay Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) consistently precedes multiple myeloma: a prospective study. Blood May 28;113(22):

22 Risk of progression of MGUS Risk of progression to MM after 20 years of follow-up Monoclonal protein>1.5 g/dl Immunoglobulin A or M Serum free-light chain ratio <0.26 or >1.65

23

24 Risk of progression of SMM Risk of progression to MM after 20 years of follow-up Monoclonal protein>3 g/dl BM plasma cell >10% Serum free-light chain ratio <0.125 or >8 Risk of progression to MM after 5years of follow-up 95% or higher abnormal plasma cell by flow-cytometry Reduction of uninvolved immunogloulins

25 Use of FLC in monitoring response The FLC assay allows quantititative monitoring of patients with : Oligosecretory plasma cell disorders AL amyloidosis i 2/3 of patients with non-secretory MM

26 Use of FLC assay in response assessment Normalization of rflc has been incorporated into the definition of stringent complete remission

27 Use of FLC to document CR (response to therap) rflc has been incorporated into the definition of stringent complete response

28 LIMITATION LOT TO LOT variation Monoclonal light chain( kappa++) do not dilute in a linear fashion Antigen excess- false positive low serum FLC Change in AA sequence- epitopes of FLC unrecognized
