New DNA test could improve MDS diagnosis
NCT ID NCT05434598
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a new whole genome test called ChromoSeq can find genetic changes in people with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) as well as current standard tests. About 60 adults with MDS will provide samples, and doctors will compare results. The goal is to see if ChromoSeq is reliable and helpful for guiding treatment decisions.
