Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) represent a heterogeneous group of neoplastic hematopoietic disorders. Several recurrent chromosomal aberrations have been associated with MDS, but the genes affected h
The marrow microenvironment contributes to the pathogenesis of ineffective hematopoiesis in Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS). Since mutations and cytogenetic alterations are generally not present in ma
Epigenetic dysregulation of cancer-associated genes has been identified to contribute to the pathogenesis of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). However, few studies have elucidated the whole-genome DNA
Isolated deletions of the long arm of chromosome 5 (del(5q)) are observed in 10% of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and are associated with a more favorable prognosis, although the clinical course var
