The emergence and evolution of SARS-CoV-2 variants, such as Delta and Omicron, pose significant challenges to pandemic management. This study evaluated the effectiveness of reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) in detecting and characterizing SARS-CoV-2 variants using 624 samples collected in South Korea from mid-2021 to mid-2022. Two RT-PCR genotyping assays demonstrated a high concordance rate (90.

- Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) shows promise as a cure for myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDSs) and other blood cancers.
- A study of 21 MDS patients post-transplantation revealed 38% developed new genetic mutations, indicating clonal hematopoiesis (CH) from donor cells and a higher incidence of CH compared to healthy individuals.
- Additionally, telomere length in these patients shortened significantly, suggesting stress and rapid cell division in the new bone marrow environment may accelerate genetic changes.
