@redvrm greetings and welcome to the Mayo Clinic’s Connect. There is a higher risk within families of multiple myeloma patients for also contracting the disease.

Although MGUS is considered a benign, pre-cancerous condition, there is a risk of progression to Multiple myeloma.
There has been a great deal of improvement in the treatment available for multiple myeloma, although I am sure that it is worrisome for you that your son has been diagnosed with this disease. Have his medical providers, determined what treatment he will receive? Sometimes even after diagnosis with multiple myeloma, they opt not to treat right away.
