Table 2 Cytogenetic abnormalities with associated genes and frequency in multiple myeloma and differences between intermediate-/high-risk and standard-risk cytogenetics. For high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities, the presence of two high-risk factors is considered double-hit myeloma. Three or more high-risk factors is considered triple-hit myeloma [5, 7, 9, 10, 15, 19,20,21,22,23,24, 26, 46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53]
