About this trial
This clinical trial tests next generation sequencing (NGS) for the detection of precursor features of pre-myeloid cancers and bone marrow failure syndromes. NGS is a procedure that looks at relevant cancer associated genes and what they do. Finding genetic markers for pre-malignant conditions may help identify patients who are at risk of pre-myeloid cancers and bone marrow failure syndromes and lead to earlier intervention.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Patients with idiopathic cytopenias of unclear significance (ICUS)
Patients with clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate significance (clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential [CHIP]), including the recently described CHIP syndrome called VEXAS (vacuoles, E1 ubiquitin ligase, X chromosomal, autoimmune and somatic)
Patients with clonal cytopenias of undetermined significance (CCUS)
Marrow failure syndromes with myeloid malignancy predisposition - telomere dysfunction, chromosomal breakage disorders
Disqualifiers
Patients under 18 years of age
