The bmb can detect level of fibrosis in the bone marrow as well as offering a firm diagnosis. Does anybody know if bmb also indicates allele burden?

From my understanding, both the bone marrow biopsy and a peripheral blood test can be used in detection of the JAK2 mutation and measurement of its allele burden in patients with myeloproliferative syndromes (myeloproliferative neoplasms). Though the peripheral blood test is generally sufficient in detecting the mutation.
