Abstract:
The present invention relates to the sialyltransferase ST3GAL6 for use as a biomarker for multiple myeloma, and especially as a marker for myelomas with inferior survival rates. The inventors have shown that glycosylation gene expression is dysregulated in Multiple Myeloma and that overexpression of the sialyltransferase ST3GAL6 is associated with inferior survival rates in patients.
