Chirley, you're right. Bob's FISH comes back normal every time but the MDS Sequencing came back with 2 of the five genes mutated. The report explains each one and how it relates to the research in MDS and it's use in diagnostics. It shows a chart that compares Probability for Overall Survival for those with mutations and those without. Eye-opening for sure but if it helps with the decision-making for BMT or not, I'm all for it.
As with everything else it's just another piece of the puzzle.
