Trisomy 21 [Down's syndrome (DS)] and mutations in transcription factor GATA1 predispose neonates to a transient myeloproliferative disorder (TMD) and/or acute megakaryocytic leukaemia (AMKL). The role of trisomy 21 in their pathogenesis is unclear. We previously reported two rare neonates without DS who had TMD, one of whom progressed to AMKL. Trisomy 21 was detected only in blood cells at presentation with...
