multiplicity of alleles, the possibility that two unrelated<br />

persons share the same pattern is remote (i.e., about 1 in<br />

30 billion). There is, however, a problem in deciphering<br />

the multibanded arrangement of minisatellite restriction<br />

fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs), as it is difficult to<br />

ascertain which bands are allelic. Mutation rates of minisatellite<br />

HVRs remain to be demonstrated but are recognized<br />

occasionally. Used in resolving cases of disputed parentage.<br />

multiple autoimmune disorder (MAD)<br />

In type I MAD, a patient must manifest a minimum of two<br />

of the diseases designated Addison’s disease, mucocutaneous<br />

candidiasis, or hypoparathyroidism. Type II MAD is known<br />

as Schmidt syndrome; patients manifest at least two conditions<br />

from a category that includes autoimmune thyroid disease,<br />

Addison’s disease, mucocutaneous candidiasis, and insulindependent<br />

diabetes mellitus, with or without hypopituitarism.<br />

Multiple myeloma.<br />

multiple myeloma<br />

A plasmacytoma or plasma cell neoplasm associated with<br />

the production of a paraprotein that appears in the serum.<br />

The neoplastic plasma cells usually synthesize and secrete<br />

monoclonal, highly homogenous immunoglobulins. Serum<br />

electrophoresis reveals a narrow monoclonal band in 98
