Clonality in myeloproliferative disorders: analysis by means of the polymerase chain reaction.
1 Aug 1991
Abstract excerpt
The myeloproliferative syndromes are acquired disorders of hematopoiesis that provide insights into the transition from somatic cell mutation to neoplasia. The clonal origin of specific blood cells can be assessed in patients with X chromosome-linked polymorphisms, taking advantage of random inactivation of the X chromosome.
