The higher‐RUNX1 patients more frequently had MDS‐EB, including MDS‐EB1 and MDS‐EB2, but less MDS with single lineage dysplasia (MDS‐SLD), MDS with multilineage dysplasia (MDS‐MLD), MDS with ring sideroblasts and single lineage dysplasia (MDS‐RS‐SLD), and MDS with ring sideroblasts and multilineage dysplasia (MDS‐RS‐MLD) compared to the lower‐RUNX1 group (p < 0.001). This evidence concerns the gene RUNX1 and myelodysplastic syndrome.
