The purpose of this work was to evaluate the genetic propensity importance in the monoclonal gammapathies occurrence. Systematic serum-electrophoreses were performed on 172 relatives of 37 reported patients and on 10,784 controls over 30. The 4 families including one or more "paraproteinemia" other than the proband's were investigated. Experimental, epidemiologic, immunologic and genetic arguments are discussed.
