The identification of novel MM-specific molecular markers could ameliorate risk-stratification tools and accurately identify high-risk patients towards personalized prognosis and therapy. miRNA-seq analysis of CD138+ plasma cells (n = 24) unveiled miR-221-3p and miR-222-3p (miR-221/222 cluster) as the most downregulated miRNAs in R-ISS III compared to R-ISS I/II patients. Subsequently, miR-221/222 levels were quantified by RT-qPCR in CD138+ plasma cells of our screening cohort (n = 141), assessing patients’ mortality and disease progression as clinical endpoints.
