About this trial
This is a single institution, prospective study of the whole genome sequencing assay, ChromoSeq. Using prospectively collected patient data, coupled with physician surveys, the investigators seek to determine the feasibility of implementing ChromoSeq in addition to standard genomic testing, for patients with the diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
Eligibility criteria

Seen in the outpatient setting.
Not been previously treated with disease-modifying therapy (such as lenalidomide or hypomethylating agents).
Treating physician at Washington University School of Medicine who directs therapy for individuals with hematologic malignancies.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Rate of assay success on first attempt compared between ChromoSeq and conventional cytogenetics as measured by total number of recurrent structural variants identified
-The number of recurrent structural variants detected by ChromoSeq will be compared to those detected by conventional cytogenetics using two non-inferiority tests for dependent samples using non-inferiority margin of 1%.
Rate of assay success on first attempt compared between ChromoSeq and conventional cytogenetics as measured by total number of copy number alterations identified
The number of copy number alterations detected by ChromoSeq will be compared to those detected by conventional cytogenetics using two non-inferiority tests for dependent samples using non-inferiority margin of 1%.
Proportion of failed ChromoSeq assays
* As compared to failed standard of care genomic profiling assays * The proportion of first-run failures for ChromoSeq assays will be compared to the proportion of failed standard of care genomic profiling assays using a directional Fisher's exact test.
IPSS-M risk score compared between ChromoSeq and conventional standard of care genomic profiling (Arm 2 only)
Secondary outcomes
Stakeholder perceptions of ChromoSeq
* Using survey responses from treating physicians obtained from per case standardized questionnaires designed using Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research constructs * For each case, the corresponding treating physician will be asked to answer a case-based ChromoSeq Implementation Physician Survey. In order to prospectively investigate how the ChromoSeq data was used or could be used by the treating physician for each case, and to evaluate perceptions in real time, the physician will be asked to complete the survey within 1 month of the ChromoSeq and completed conventional genomic profiling results being returned to the chart, whichever is later.
Number and type of recurrent genomic alterations identified compared between 200-250 X ChromoSeq and standard 60-90X ChromoSeq (Arm 2 only)
