Bone marrow cancer is usually from an acquired genetic change rather than one with which you were born. Genetic testing is used on patients with bone marrow cancer to determine the best treatment options.
Quick answer, yes, for certain types genetics are well defined. There are however, almost always, abnormalities in the blood counts.
