Mutations within the same functional category are negatively associated, and positive associations are listed.

bi, biallelic; IR, intermediate risk; ITD, internal tandem duplication; MK, monosomal karyotype; ND, not determined; NK, normal karyotype; NS, not significant; PTD, partial tandem duplication; TBC, to be confirmed; TKD, tyrosine kinase domain.
