In myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), STING expression was positively correlated with TNF-α signaling via NFKB (r = 2.18, P < 0.001), allograft rejection (r = 2.13, P < 0.001), inflammatory response (r = 1.96, P < 0.001), interferon alpha response (r = 1.80, P < 0.001), and interferon-gamma response (r = 1.71, P < 0.001). Here, TNF is linked to myelodysplastic syndrome.
