Myeloma MyelomaMyeloma, often referred to as multiple myeloma, is a blood cancer of the plasma cells found in the bone marrow. Plasma cells are white blood cells that play an important role in the immune system, as they produce antibodies that help fight infection. Myeloma begins when healthy plasma cells change and grow out of control, and it is called multiple myeloma since the cancer often affects several areas of the body. Abnormal plasma cells can crowd out or suppress the growth of other cells in the bone marrow, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Multiple myeloma is considered treatable, but generally an incurable disease (Mayo Clinic). Differential Abundance Analysis ResultsThis section presents the results of the differential protein abundance analysis, visualized through a volcano plot and summarized in the accompanying table for all three comparisons: 1) disease vs. healthy samples, 2) disease vs. diseases from the same class, and 3) disease vs. all other diseases.

Figure 1: In the volcano plot, proteins are plotted based on their fold change (logFC) on the x-axis and the statistical significance of the change (-log10 adjusted p-value) on the y-axis. Proteins considered differentially abundant are highlighted, defined by an adjusted p-value < 0.05 and an absolute logFC > 0.5.
Table 1: The summary table lists the results for all comparisons, sorted by p-value by default. It includes key metrics such as fold change and adjusted p-value, to allow exploration of the most significant proteins for each comparison.
