Figure

  • Fig. 1 Bone marrow trephine biopsy and smear from a case of Waldenström's macroglobulinemia harboring the MYD88 p.L265P mutation with an allele frequency of 46% as determined by pyrosequencing assay (A), and a patient suffering from multiple myeloma without the MYD88 p.L265P mutation (B) (hematoxylin-eosin, ×200, Pappenheim stain, ×400). Corresponding quantification of allele burden using the PyroMark software in the above cases of Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (C) and multiple myeloma (D).
