Affected individuals may have a somewhat shortened lifespan without treatment. The maximum lifespan without treatment is 67 years. When a 13q deletion is detected, such as in a bone marrow biopsy for Multiple Myeloma, chemo treatments in recent years have the ability to extend life expectancy without limitations depending on response to treatments.
The hematopoietic cells are most sensitive to low oxygen and are the first to die after reduction or removal of the blood supply, usually within 12 hours. [2] Experimental evidence suggests that bone cells (osteocytes, osteoclasts, osteoblasts etc.) die within 12–48 hours, and that bone marrow fat cells die within 5 days. [2]
