However, SF3B1, U2AF1 and SRSF2 mutations are the most frequent SF mutations in myeloid neoplasms and can be easily detected by Sanger's sequencing.[2, 11] The finding that mutations in these three SF genes predict poor prognosis suggests routine test of these mutations may be helpful in the clinical management of AML patients. This evidence concerns the gene SF3B1 and myeloid neoplasm.
