Myelofibrosis is a risk factor for the development of Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. Here, the authors carry out an integrated genomic investigation of 933 myelofibrosis patients, and identified interactions between germline and somatic variation in patients who required haematopoietic cell transplantation.
