The genetic analysis of Chinese patients with clonal cytopenias using targeted next-generation sequencing

Abstract Background Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) can be found in various myeloid neoplasms (MN), such as myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), myelodysplastic syndromes/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN), also in pre-MDS conditions. Methods Cytogenetics is an independent prognostic factor in MDS, and fl...
