Consistent with these patterns, baseline MOTS-c values were numerically higher in responders (44.88 ± 35.05 ng/mL) compared with refractory patients (32.16 ± 14.91 ng/mL), although this difference did not reach statistical significance.

Exploratory subgroup analyses highlighted a near-significant association between MOTS-c levels and immunoglobulin subtypes, although this was not statistically confirmed in patients with IgG-secreting disease.
Notably, in the refractory group, strong correlations (r > 0.9) between MOTS-c changes and IgG variations were observed, though they did not achieve significance, likely due to limited sample size (Table 2 ).
