Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stroma cells (MSCs) in myeloid neoplasia have been hypothesized to carry somatic mutations and contribute to pathogenesis. Here the authors analyse ex-vivo cultures and primary MSCs derived from patients with myelodysplastic syndromes, finding functional alterations but no evidence of clonal mutations.
