Deletions of chromosome 20q are frequent abnormalities in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and myeloproliferative neoplasms. Stoner et al identify STK4, which encodes Hippo kinase MST1, as the candidate gene from the deleted region that, when deleted, promotes features of MDS and induces myelofibrosis in the presence of JAK2V617F through modulation of inflammatory pathways.
