Oncogenic potential of known BMF and/or HM predisposition TFs, as well as strong candidate BMF and/or HM predisposition TFs mapped using mouse phenotypes, constraint scores, variants observed and malignant fusions. Mouse phenotypes collated through Mouse MGI (2527), and mousephenotype.org (28), constraint scoring (LOEUF, pLI and No. of LOF) extracted from gnomAD (29), domain constraint calculated from MetaDome (30), and somatic mutations obtained from COSMIC (31).
