Registry for Adults With Plasma Cell Disorders.

The purpose of this research study is to create a registry of adults with plasma cell disorders to complete study assessments. These assessments will help us gather information on memory, mental health, and social support. We are also interested in exploring different factors that may affect the aging process.
