IgM multiple myeloma is an extremely rare form of myeloma. About half of myeloma cases involve IgG proteins, and around 20% involve IgA proteins.

To distinguish between IgM myeloma and other conditions, doctors look at specific genetic markers. For example, genetic testing can identify certain mutations and changes that help confirm an IgM myeloma diagnosis. While connecting with others who share your specific diagnosis is valuable, you may want to discuss your test results and diagnosis with your healthcare team to ensure you have the most accurate understanding of your condition. They can explain the specific markers and genetic findings that led to your diagnosis and help guide your treatment plan.
