Age at diagnosis

2

Cases of iMCD had to meet the diagnostic criteria outlined by D. Fajgenbaum et al.31

3

From diagnosis

4

Tissue used for next generation sequencing.

5

Patients 1,2,4, and 5 underwent sequencing using the Foundation One Heme panel. Patient 3 underwent sequencing using the University of California San Diego Comprehensive NGS mutation panel analysis.

6

Patients 1,2,3, and 4 underwent cfDNA analysis using the Guardant360 assay.
