What Is MGUS?
2. Causes
Found within some of our bones is a soft tissue known as bone marrow. These tissues are very important for us as they are the production houses of many of our body’s blood cells, among other things. It is in here that the abnormal proteins are formed.
We know little about what causes MGUS. It is thought, however, that environmental factors may be a cause, while it may also be down to changes genetically. Regardless of the cause, the condition will usually cause no problems whatsoever for the patient, although it will progress to something more serious in a small number of cases.
