  • Acute myeloid leukemia
    • Clonal myeloid stem cell (SC) disorder w/ ≥20% blasts
  • Myelodysplastic syndromes
    • Dysplastic clonal myeloid SC disorder → cytopenias; <20% blasts, risk of leukemic transformation
  • Myeloproliferative neoplasms
    • Nondysplastic multipotent myeloid SC clonal expansion
  • MDS/MPN neoplasms
    • Features of MDS & MPN (eg, CMML, atypical CML)
  • Myeloid/lymphoid malig. w/ eos & rearrangements of PDGFR or FGFR1 or w/ PCM1-JAK2
    • May be responsive to TKI therapy (eg, imatinib) for PDGFR rearrangement
  • Mastocytosis
    • Clonal mast cell disorder, assoc w/ KIT mutations
  • Myeloid neoplasms w/ germ line predisposition
    • MDS, MDS/MPN, acute leukemias in background of predisposing germline mutations (eg, DDX41)
