No single ancillary study was abnormal in every case, but all cases had at least one abnormal finding, demonstrating the usefulness of a multiparameter approach to the diagnosis of MDS/MPN. Although a few specific mutations were found exclusively in MDS/MPN-U and JAK2 mutations were most prevalent, larger studies are needed to determine whether MDS/MPN-U has a mutational "fingerprint," which may aid in diagnosis and targeted therapy.
