Molecular and Cytogenetic Characterization of Myelodysplastic Syndromes in Cell-Free DNA
Molecular and cytogenetic studies are essential in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) for diagnosis and prognosis. Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) analysis has been reported as a reliable non-invasive approach for detecting molecular abnormalities in MDS, however, there is limited information about cytogenetic alterations and monitoring in cfDNA.
