RECRUITING

Replacing Bone Marrow With Peripheral Blood in Cytopenia Patients

Description

This study aims to validate a novel, non-invasive diagnostic approach for blood and bone marrow malignancies using single-cell RNA sequencing of circulating hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (cHSPCs) from peripheral blood. Building on prior work defining normal cHSPC profiles in healthy individuals, the study introduces a pipeline for identifying blood pathologies, with a focus on improving the diagnosis and subclassification of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). A multi-center clinical trial is proposed to evaluate the method's ability to predict bone marrow results in patients with cytopenia, potentially reducing reliance on bone marrow biopsies.
