The optimal cutoff for CTBP2 expression was determined using Cutoff Finder, as illustrated in Figure 1E.

The mean (range) is presented for continuous variables. Categorical variables were analyzed by Fisher exact test or χ2 test, and continuous variables were analyzed by unpaired t test.

BMPC, BM plasma cells; Hb, hemoglobin;, LDH lactate dehydrogenase; MMRF, Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation.

Statistically significant (P < .05).
