Morphological interpretation is the standard in diagnosing myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), but it has limitations, such as varying reliability in pathologic evaluation and lack of integration with genetic data. Somatic events shape morphologic features, but the complexity of morphologic and genetic changes make clear associations challenging. This article interrogates novel clinical subtypes of MDS using a machine learning technique devised to identify patterns of co-occurrence among morphologic features and genomic events.
