Idiopathic Cytopenia of Undetermined Significance

This study is being done to investigate clonal hematopoiesis and therapy-emergent myeloid neoplasms in patients with ovarian or other solid cancers. Researchers want to identify risk factors for developing these blood cancers as well as if there is/are a genetic/environmental component(s) to developing blood cancer.

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.
