Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Pathogenic (P) germline variants in CHEK2 are associated with a moderately increased risk of several solid tumors; however, their contribution to myeloid malignancies remains poorly defined. METHODS: We analyzed germline CHEK2 variants in 1,035 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and 283 with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). P and likely pathogenic (LP) variants were identified, and their...
