To the Editor:
Sequence-based analysis has come to play an integral role in many hematological malignancies [1], but disorders such as systemic light-chain (AL) amyloidosis remain poorly characterized due to its low incidence and small tumor size [2, 3].
Thus, greater knowledge about the immunogenetic landscape of AL amyloidosis is required since, for example, potential differences between the genomic profiles of AL amyloidosis and multiple myeloma (MM) could help identifying patients with monoclonal gammopathies at greater risk of developing AL amyloidosis and monitor presymptomatic organ damage [4, 5].
