The differentially expressed genes from the bulk BM transcriptomics analysis in the larger cohort were highly expressed in MDS-specific cell populations (iMSCs, IFN-responsive T cells, and non-classical CD14-low monocytes), which did not exist in the healthy BM reference, confirming that we profiled the relevant cell populations (Fig. 2I). Here, IFNA1 is linked to myelodysplastic syndrome.
