TP53 and IDH2 Somatic Mutations Are Associated With Inferior Overall Survival After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation for Myelodysplastic Syndrome

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation represents the only treatment option capable of offering a cure to patients with myelodysplastic syndrome. Here, we demonstrate that presence of mutations in TP53 and IDH2 in myelodysplastic syndrome confer a poor prognosis even in the setting of allogeneic transplantation.
