Stepwise acquisition of mutations gives rise to myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) in older adults. Here, the authors infer the clonal hierarchy of 1809 MDS patients, revealing insights into the evolution of dominant/secondary mutations and how these impact clinical phenotypes like leukemic progression and therapy response.
