eBFU-E indicates endogenous erythroid colony growth in the absence of added Epo; eCFU-MK, endogenous megakaryocytic colony growth in the absence of added LCM; and ND, not done. Clonality was calculated after correcting granulocytes value for the degree of lyonization of CD3+ cells. Clonality was considered when the corrected allele ratio was less than 0.30, which corresponds to more than 70% expression of one allele.
