Analysis of the alphabeta T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) using the technique of TCR beta-chain spectratyping has provided valuable insight into the pathophysiology of cytopenias in a subset of patients with this heterogeneous disorder. TCR beta-chain spectratypes are complex data sets, however, and statistical tools for their comprehensive analysis are limited. The objective of the present work was to develop a method to enable quantitative evaluation and global comparison of spectratype data from different individuals and to study the prevalence of TCR beta repertoire abnormalities in MDS patients.
