Abstract

Abstract In this study, 108 pediatric patients with bone marrow (BM) failure and leukemia predisposition were evaluated for presence of clonal hematopoiesis in peripheral blood (PB) and BM. Robust PB-BM concordance for mutations but decreased sensitivity in PB for chromosomal abnormalities was found.
