Utility of peripheral blood for cytogenetic and mutation analysis in myelodysplastic syndrome
13 Jun 2013
Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have shown that more than 80% of bone marrow (BM) samples from patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) harbor somatic mutations and/or genomic aberrations, which are of diagnostic and prognostic importance.
