ALK P = alkaline phosphatase; F = female; M = male; MDS = myelodysplastic syndrome; MGUS = monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance; U = unclassified interstitial pneumonia. See Table 1 legend for expansion of other abbreviations.

^aSeven subjects underwent liver biopsies, since it was believed not to influence management.

^bCould represent early myelodysplastic syndrome.

^cBy abdominal ultrasonography.

^dEarly myelodysplastic syndrome. Trisomy 1q and monosomy 7q.
