Workflow of study. RNA-sequencing data from 80 patients in the GSE114922 dataset were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/) and used for overall survival (OS) analysis, including Kaplan–Meier curve analysis, Cox regression analysis, and a nomogram model. A total of 46 BM samples were collected from newly diagnosed MDS patients from our clinical center for RNA extraction, qRT-PCR, and OS analysis.
