Acknowledgements
We thank all clinicians for sending samples to our laboratory for diagnostic purposes and for providing clinical information and follow-up data. In addition, we thank all the co-workers at the MLL Munich Leukemia Laboratory for approaching together many aspects in the field of leukemia diagnostics and research. We also want to thank Professor Arndt Rolfs from Centogene AG (Rostock, Germany) who provided the filter cards (CentoCard) for this study and supported the idea to apply them in leukemia.
