This study is being done to screen adults for MGUS and to better understand the genetic and immune factors linked to this condition. Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance or MGUS is a condition where an abnormal immune protein is found in the blood. MGUS is not cancer. In some people, it slowly develops into a blood cancer called multiple myeloma. MGUS occurs in people from all backgrounds. Researchers hope to use the information from this study to improve knowledge, early detection, and future care for everyone.
