Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematologic malignancy characterized by the accumulation of aberrant plasma cells within the bone marrow. The high frequent mutation of family with sequence similarity 46, member C (FAM46C) is closely related with the occurrence and progression of MM. Recently, FAM46C has been identified as a non‐canonical poly(A) polymerase (PAP) that functions as a tumor suppressor in MM. This study aimed to elucidate the structural features of this novel non‐canonical PAP and how MM‐related mutations affect the structural and biochemical properties of FAM46C, eventually advancing our understandings towards FAM46C mutation‐related MM occurrence.
