Age group is defined by the lower quartile of the distribution of the diagnosis. P represents a trend test. The age stratification was based on the first quartile of the age at diagnosis distribution of all incident cases for each hematological malignancy. Where a first-degree relative appears in both age groups as a result of being related to 2 or more incident cases, the first-degree relative is counted in the younger age group. Data on the clonal myeloid neoplasms have previously been reported.18 

N, number of cases.
