ASB indicates allograft small bowel; ISH, in situ hybridization; L, lungs; LN, lymph nodes; MP, monoclonal protein; NA, not available; NMPD, no monoclonal proteins detected; PC, plasma cell; TA, tonsils and adenoids; and UPE, urine protein electrophoresis.

*

One major monoclonal protein in beta and 2 additional monoclonal proteins in gamma region, not further characterized.

Detected by FISH.
