  1. WES whole-exome sequencing, TS targeted sequencing, MDS myelodysplastic syndromes, MPN myeloproliferative neoplasms, sAML secondary acute myeloid leukemia from MDS or MDS/MPN
  2. aIn total, 36 common genes were sequenced in the entire cohort
  3. bAll sAML cases were determined derived from MDS (n = 137) or MDS/MPM (n = 14)
  4. cTwo groups based on IPSS-R scores (low risk as <=3.5 and high risk as >3.5) according to the transformation risk (Pfeilstöcker, M. et al.47)
