Abstract excerpt
Decalcified formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (dFFPE) bone marrow trephines remain the primary source of gDNA in hematopathological diagnostics. Here, we investigated the applicability of next-generation sequencing (NGS) to dFFPE samples. Chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML) is a haematopoietic stem cell malignancy delineated by genetic heterogeneity. Recently characteristic mutations have been identified...
