Abstract

Gene panel sequencing in a CMML patient without any detectable genetic abnormality by conventional genetic studies identified four concurrent somatic mutations in three genes. Gene panel mutation analysis is a rapidly emerging clinical tool to demonstrate the clonality in hematologic malignancies, and to identify the potential targets for therapy.
