@nolarn Thank you for the compliment. I'm all for research that will help point the way to slowing down/heading off advancing illnesses of any kind! So many times it takes stepping out of the box of what may be deemed conventional medicine and bravely looking at things in a new light, from a new viewpoint.

While research seems to point to the idea that there is no clearcut cause of MGUS, it is my belief [your mileage may vary!] that some people have a proclivity to certain maladies, or malady families as it were. For me, it is several different autoimmune conditions, as if my body is entertaining its own little civil war.

Would I have loved to be part of such a study for MGUS? You bet! As an active multiple myeloma patient, if I could assist in any way, I would be happy to. Did you notice that Dr. Irene Ghobiani trained at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN? Nothing ventured, nothing gained, in the field of blood cancer patients, and helping everyone to live their best lives possible!
