Abstract
The laboratory and clinical investigation of a patient with marked hypercupremia and
multiple myeloma is described. The majority of the copper was found to be associated
with the IgG myeloma protein. This IgG myeloma protein showed normal immunological
reactivity, no significant abnormality in amino acid composition, and no gross increase
in copper-binding capacity. Penicillamine therapy did not produce a statistically
significant increase in urinary copper excretion.
